how about you use 3 of the same set on each wheel and buy a set of 4 wheel locks?

Re: quick Kyokugen Lug Nuts question (Navid OG)
I can't answer your question, but I can offer my advice about these lugs.
1. Use anti-seeze when you install them. You WILL thank yourself later
2. Torque them down to proper specs by hand with an accurate torque wrench.
I took my car too a shop and when they put the wheels back on, they used an impact gun. The next time I tried to rotate my tires I stripped the key because they were on too tight. After that, I used anti-seeze and torqued them down properly and they came off like butter 2 months later (today)

Re: (ptran13)
All Rays, Kyokugen, and Muteki lugs as well as a few no name brands are made by the same company just so everyone knows.
have fun, and if u use a torque wrench then you wont strip them.

Re: (BigZ88)
I bought a set of kyo's and they seem really nice. Like BigZ said, just like wheels, lugs are made by one company and distributed throughout to other companies where they stamp them as their own. Wheel locks will help.
