Lug nut question

I've got the stock wheels on my 93 R1, and I'm wondering what kind of lug nuts would I need to replace the rusted out locking lugs. The locking lugs I have on there are really sickly looking, and I'll probably have to have them cut off. I'm just wondering what taper lugs I'd need, and if they make any 7-point or otherwise somewhat theft-deterrant lugs, that'd be nice too.

Links would help as well :P

Just go to any local shucks or something like that. They will have what your looking for. Its just a regular old tapered lug. I think it was an 8.5 or something like that. For some reason 8.5 is sticking out in my head, im not sure though....

If you want a set of locking lugs (or regular ones for that matter) you could always just by them from a Mazda dealer. The locking lugs will come with a new key.

I found a seller on eBay who had bags of the Mazda lug nuts.

As well, I think I also saw a set of the locking style lug nuts on eBay recently.

I was looking at a set of black lugs at autozone but wasn't all that sure on the sizing to buy. I have about 3 different sets of lugs on my rear pssenger side wheel...wanted to get everything matching.
