I need a locknut set for my '03. But there's like a million different sizes out there and I'm not sure what size I need. Does anybody know what the specs are? Thanks!

locking lug nuts? if so, but an installation kit of chrome and locking lug nuts from a place like www.volpaz.com for 30 bucks or so.

For factory rims? Lugnuts/locknuts can be different depending on what rim you have.

If it's factory rims, get a set from the Ford dealer they sell McGuard locks. Didn't your Stang come from the factory with lock nuts?

You guys have never heard of locknuts? It's a lugnut that cannot be turned with a wrench. The nut itself is round and it has a key that inserts into the round nut (the part thats actually on the wheel). The key has a hex head on it so you can turn the locknut. Without the key you can't remove the wheel. It's a theft deterrent.

They aren't factory wheels. They're Saleen wheels since the car is a Saleen. And I recently bought the car used so I don't know if the car came from the factory with them or not. I know I can get a set from Ford but I would prefer to buy them online since Ford likes to jack their parts prices up about 250% from market value.

I can get a full set right now of chrome lock lug nuts but I would prefer to buy just the lock set and save $20 or so since I only need the locks. Besides I don't need chrome since the wheels are white.

"For what????" Because everybody stares at the car everywhere I go and I don't want to wake up one morning and see it sitting on blocks! A set of legitimate 18" Saleen wheels and 315 and 275 set of P-Zeros would cost me a lot of dough to replace.

I've never heard them being called locknuts, locknuts are nuts with a plastic piece in them found in hardware stores and such. I've always known them as locking lug nuts, and that's what they're called in the shop....maybe I'm getting old.

http://www.mustangtuning.com/chlolugnuand.html I have these, and they fit my 02 w/ cobra R motorsport wheels.

I guess it doesn't really matter what the proper term is. Locknuts, locking lug nuts, close enough. I've always heard of them being called locknuts. Nonetheless I think the picture describes what I'm talking about well enough. So now that we're all on the same page can I get any help?

Summit racing will have them.I thought you were talking about a regular lock nut like stated above that will not back off when tightened.There is every size of those as there is bolts so thats why I asked.Locking lugs can be bought anywere,Napa,Auto Zone,Pep boys,or any other automotive store

You'd still be better off going to the Ford dealer for a McGuard set. I don't think their markup is THAT high,, and the bonus of getting Ford locking lugs is, if you ever break or lose your lug key they have a master set at every dealership & can take the lugs off.
