Default lug nut question

Hoping one of the professionals in here can help me. I don't have a mustang anymore, a honda now, and the stock lugs are ball seat style lug nuts. However I was looking for a different set of lugs for my new wheels (upgraded oem so still ballseat style) locking ones but a lot of the ones I find and like have a different style end. I assume theres nothing I can do other than run the ball seat lugs I have but I just wanted to check if there were any other options you guys might know about and I know. Thanks

Look into Gorilla lug nuts

I am sure they have one to fit your needs and EACH lug is locking. Furthermore, they look like regular lugs and NOT the little "race track" end that slips off when torquing

I recommend you purchase a full set plus some extras. If your car has 20 lugs, order a set of the same size for a car with 24 lugs (I ordered a set for an F-150). Once they show up to you, order an extra wrench for safety. I have been using them for over 25 years and the BEST lug-nuts EFFER!

On the lugs, you may want to check ET style also. Gorrilla is good, but I have seen some forged light weight ones on the market on the tuner side -- but kind of expensive.
