Default black superlight weight lugs

I need black superlight weight lug nuts really fast. What should I get and where?!? I am getting spoon rims on wed and i want some lug nuts to match the black paint and I want them to be light!

And Id rather steer clear of the $200 volk lugs =]

You can get some kryokugen lugs for $55 shipped. 20 come in a set and they are open ended. They come with a 7-sided key. I think you can still get them from groupbuy.

Yea, get a Fastbrakes Wilwood brake kit and save 8-10 lbs per wheel, much better than a few oz.

You spent how much on Spoon wheels, but you dont want to cough up the extra dough for high end lugs?? Hehe, sorry, I dont have any helpful input, just thought that was a bit funny.

I got some Skunk2 racing lugs for my '92 hatch, and they are the lightest lugs that i've had experience with. They have an open ended, bronze/gun metal look, and very very light.

Im sure other former Kyokugen users can vouch for me.
yeah...no joke...they really do suck...went through three sets before i wised up...they strip waaay to easy...would have been better off spending the money i was trying to save and buying a really nice set like the RAYS lug nuts...

You definitely have to be careful tightening those lugs cuz the key strips easy. I always hand tighten the lugs, never torque wrench.

Maybe someone makes an extra lightweight axle nut for you guys as well. This thread is absolutely ridiculous.

Spending $200 for lightweight lugs puts you people in the same category as those fools who get rear wings for the "downforce" on their daily driver. Ever heard of rotational inertia??

I got Kyoguns because I wanted black lugnuts for my gunmetal wheels. I don't care if they are light.

You didn't ever read his message before writing your reply did you? Doesn't make you come off as being too bright does it?
