I know this sounds stupid, but how do you change a tire?

Here is a friendly tip from your Uncle Spike, steel wheel lug nuts will NOT fit alloy wheels.

ANY steel wheel lugs nuts will NOT fit ANY alloys wheels.

Look at the lug nuts, they will NOT work.

Lug Nuts - For Steel Wheels - Metric - Set Of 20 for Defender 110 | Land Rover wheels, tires, hubs, axles

The alloys have a deep I dont know what you would call it spot for the lug nuts to go into and they actually help keep the wheel centered on the hub.

Lug Nut - Stainless (Set Of 20) for Defender 110 | Land Rover wheels, tires, hubs, axles

The steel wheels do not have that deep space.

Wheel - 16X6.5" Steel Nato - Tubeless (Silver) (Set Of 4) for Defender 110 | Land Rover wheels, tires, hubs, axles

See the difference?

Look at your rims and how the lugs nuts go on.
Wont work.

i'm confused. We want lugs without stainless steel caps that deteriorate for our alloy wheels. Which one is best?

A single locking lug for each wheel would be nice too.

My original post about $50 steel lug nuts are the ones I posted a picture of. They look JUST like our normal lugs minus the stainless steel cap. I was told by a lot of people to use those instead because they don't warp.
