locking wheel nuts are an important part of the security of your vehicle. They are obviously there to prevent the theft of your alloy wheels, which are expensive enough in their own right, but also the tyres too, which on larger vehicles and SUV's can be as much again as the cost of the wheel.
TYPES OF LUG NUTS
There’s a wide variety of lug nuts available on the market – some are compatible with any type of wheel while others are designed for a more custom fit. The major difference you’ll find between lug nuts is the shape of the seat – which is the component that comes into contact with the wheel itself.
Conical Tapered: This style is also known as acorn lug nuts – the most common type on the market. The base of this style tapers in at an angle. They’re designed for an easy fit.
Ball Radius: The seat on this type of lug nut is rounded or spherical. Ball seats can be hard to differentiate from conical seats when attached to the wheel due to having almost identical heads.
Flat Seat: This style is more difficult to fit and center. The seat is flat and somewhat resembles a washer.
Mag Seat: Mag lugs were originally constructed from magnesium – which is where the name ‘mag’ comes from. This type of lug nut is typically used when a longer thread is required since it has an extended thread and washer.
