I would rock these.... Actually I did, but now I have different wheels. Available at http://www.inlinefour.com They look like the s2's but they are MUCH better quality.

lol chrome lugs on slipstreams = ugly . I would get some nice open ended black ones. I have kyokugen lugs with my slipstreams, but I would advise against getting them because I have heard many stories of the lug key stripping or something. Makes me scared everytime I am taking off my wheels

Re: lug nuts on slipstreams...? (SOHC_MShue)
The only reason why I wouldnt get the skunk2 or daiyama lugs is because they arent used with any key nor are they wheel locks. My friend picked up a set and they go on with just a tire iron, and are taken off with just the same, so theres no real security preventing anyone from stealing your wheels .

This is untrue. Although not very secure, the Daiyama's not removable with a simple tire iron or star.

I have had friends with the S2's that seem to be made in slight, but noticeably different sizes... where on one of their nuts, the socket fits snug, and on another there is a noticeable amount of play. (OT another friend of mine bought S2 extended wheel studs and 1 was not as long as the others) Also the Daiyamas are lighter.

Still fairly too easy to be stolen, my 4-way tire iron can take off my friends skunk2's which are a 19mm socket which is mildly deep, so I could remove the Daiyama's just as easily.

Re: lug nuts on slipstreams...? (EG2 SiR)
Thanks for the input EG2 SIR. if ever i buy another set of lugs ill look into some other companies such as Daiyama, sp? having said that i havnt had any probs with the skunk's and theyre extremely light, and they fit my sockets well but im sure there are inconsistencies just as in any product, some more than others.oh and gold lugs on black wheels look sweet btw

Re: lug nuts on slipstreams...? (h22John)
ya they make em. nothing special really - just some black lug nuts that won't strip the studs, and with paint that actually stays on.
i'll post pics of my car in a week or two as soon as i get it lowered.

Re: lug nuts on slipstreams...? (DV98CVC)
I have a set of steel grey slips on my car, and have matching steel grey lugs from kyokogen. I would get some black lugs for yours, itll look a little cleaner. I wouldnt recommend kyokogen though, unless you are big on torquing you wheels to exact spec. Otherwise you stand a chance of stripping your keylock. This is all from here say, as i have yet to do that to mines.
