    anyone modded their lug nuts?

    kinda silly.. but i came across these online and think they would look pretty sweet on the VX factory 18s... its the right pitch... just not sure if they are the right shape.. anyone know if these will fit or not?

    I took my lugs off the other day to look at the cone to see what I could use and they look like they will fit. Just pop off a lug nut and compare.

    Anyone figure out a actual part number to either the spikes or bullets that might fit? I saw 'em on eBay and noticed they didn't have any for Isuzu. Anyone know what size would fit under the 50 or so listings they have for other vehicles listed?

    Not sold on either spikes or bullets, but they had me interested, just not sure where to start on application for the Vehicross for either type.

    In theory, anything with a conical seat, that's 12mm x 1.5 should work...

    Hmmm; neat idea, but they would look kinda' funky using the factory "locking" lug nut (5 + 1-Lock Lug) on each wheel. If all six(6) lug nuts were changed, then they would have a more uniform appearance. Reminds me of the gladiator spiked wheels on the chariots in the movie "Ben Hur".
