What about the TCKline ones? The Pro Alloy nuts can be had with matching lock nuts, but $$$.

From the same link, "due to the closed end they cannot be used in conjunction with TC Kline Pro Studs"

Their regular aluminum ones are closed end, but the Pro Alloy ones are open. Unless I got it all wrong. From their pic, they are open and lockable.

Still, for that price you almost need a lock on each nut

hmm... they may work, but I think you'd have to drill out the key for sure.

Yes looks like it.

Slightly OT - Obioban I noticed in your pics that you are running different stud types front and back? The ones on the rears look like Turner studs with the hex bullet head, but your front ones look different? Are they RRT ones? What lengths are you running?

Thanks!

I started out with the TCK studs front and rear. Their rears are too long and hit the ebrake (tick tick tick) so they were replaced in short order Turner's (75mm).... which is what you're seeing in the pics. Since then I have also replaced the fronts with Turner's for a uniform looks

Good info, thanks. I was looking at the TCK ones but sounds like Turner is the way to go.
