like the topic says............

i am running a set of kyokugen now, and i must say that after the first couple of times of puttin the tires on and off the lugs are almost striped out......i have heard of many instances dealing with the kyokugen lugs being like that. i have a set of bronze Work Emotion's on the way and was debatin on what to get next. what do you think?

Please post what kind of lugs you have and the quality of the lugs, thanks in advance

 

i would like to know as well, my orignal thread sucked ***. anyway, im considering on getting some lugs that use the hex key.

 

rays y0 quality is great strong as ****. damn hindu people down the street use impact gun on them to put on my wheels no damage at all.
only thing tho is the color seems to fade alittle from sun i gess not too bad.

yeah i figured that Rays would be a good set, i know that their wheels have excellent quality, but thats alot of money for LUG NUTS......

bump

 

kyukugen and they seem to slip over time.

 

I'm running Zenki extended lug nuts with no problems at all. Took them off plenty of times.

 

Rays are the ****, but i still like my kyos, i have had them for over a year and have had good luck. Try the rays, **** it.

 

hi,
I'm running kyokugens right now myself,
only took them off once though, next time I take them off i'm going to put on some antiseize.

But anyways,
before the kyokugens I actually bought a set of duralmin(you can get them from subydude.com) lugnuts, I returned them cuz they were too much money for me(70with locknuts)&gt;
But I can tell you, even though both are supposed to be forged, I could notice a distinct difference between the kyokugens and the duralmin. The duralmin felt lighter even though they were much larger(fatter, stuck out further, and didnt taper at the end), and the material they use feels all satiny almost like it's some sort of metalplastic, and they're black through and through, dont look to be painted.

However I like the kyokugens, they are physically smaller, which looks good on an EG hatch with 15's(such a small car with small wheels doesn't need giant lugnuts sticking out).

the price on kyokugens is great too.

I would like to see peoples experience with the kyokugens who DO use antiseize every time they take them off/on.

 

alot of people i talked to has had kyougen or wutever break on them. their wheels are basically stuck on now. i would take em off haha

i run some nice USA Forged Gorillas

 

I'm running Black Spline Type Gorilla from http://www.jcwhitney.com/autop...10101

Over a year and took then off like over 10 times, they're great

 

I'm running Zenkis on my hatch and Rays on my S2K. Both are real nice quality. I've heard horror stories with the Kyokugens.

 

i've got gorilla lugs... hate them too

 

thanks for all the input guys........i have also heard good things about the gorilla lugs. i was just curious to see what others are running and how they hold up.

keep em comin

 

try some duralmin's
basically any lightweight lugnut has the chance of stripping.
I've heard of zenki nuts stripping, i've heard of rays nuts stripping.
actually one guy complained that his wheels almost fell off on the racetrack with
his s2k with the RAYS nuts.

duralmin

 

do they make mugen lug nuts that say mugen on them.

 

rays.

wheel almost fell off? lol. ok. yeah, that's because he had some light lugs on there. uh huh.

 

gunmetal skunk2 extended lug nuts hotness

 

The thing you have to think about is how many ppl use an impact gun and over torque them when they specifically they torque by hand? It's variable. But Without a doubt Rays are top notch my friend has them on his Sir and he doesn't really care about them and over torques with gun and they have yet to brake or strip at all just a lil wear on the paint of the lug itself.

 

muteki's seem to be holding up pretty well... the paint at the contact points of the lug and the socket faded real fast, but they're meant to hold the wheels on, not look good, right?

 

i'm running buddyclub lug nuts!

 

I have the Duralmin lug nuts from Suby Dude. I have had them for a while now(almost 2 years) and change my wheels and take them off alot.

I haven't encountered any problems with stripping. They have some scratches on them but they don't look bad.

 

Skunk2 I think they come in two colors? I have the bronze.
They use a normal 19mm which I don't like.

I also had a set of black kyokugens that is up for sale! Mint condition! PM me!
(I am not ashamed of the cheat plug)

 

i have Rays... but i will be selling them soon cause well i still dont have a job!!

 

I'm running some Kyos. I like them, but the fact that the key absolutley sucks is a bad thing. As soon as spring comes around I'll be ordering a new set of something else. If you tend to take your lugs off a bit, then I recommend you DO NOT get Kyos.

 

I'm not really shure what kind mine are. I paid like $2.50 each for em at a local tuner shop. They are chrome, and thats about all I know.
