What lugnuts to use with Rota wheels?
Hey guys I'm about to buy some Rota C8's and am just wondering what the best lugnuts are to use. Preferably black ones and the color won't wear off and come with locks.

Kyokugen Racing lugnuts are $55 shipped from me and there are many sets in stock. Anodized black and are 7 sided to act as a wheel lock. Inquire by IM.

I'm running the kyokugen lugs with my rotas as well. Just make sure you use a torque wrench to hand torque them to 80 ft/lbs and you should be fine.

Re: (93si)
Not trying to kill anybodies sell, but from experience with my buddy, the Kyokugen lug nuts arent very good. They seem to get hot and grab onto the wheels studs. So when you go to take them off, the damn wheel studs may break off. It has happened to 2 of his. Maybe his dumb *** just aint know what the hell he was doing. ¿?¿

Re: (93si)
be careful with the colored gorillas. i have the red ones and they are already starting to show signs of wear. the red it scraping off from where the key locks onto the lug and at the base where the lug holds the rim. i'd go with the silver next time but for $35 it's all good

if you go with Kyokugen, make sure you put antiseize on your wheel studs as soon as you put them on. Also, make sure you dont over torque them.

FYI- at the track you must have open end lug nuts with entended wheels studs if you are runing low ETS. They are not going to be use for a fashion show</TD></TR></TABLE>
i did not know that, thanks for the info.

If you have the money, McGard Splinedrives in Black Chrome. set of 16, and that consists of 4 locking lugs and 1 key. Would last a life-time. Super High Quality. http://www.mcgard.com
