I've heard of Motegi, and they make rims and accessories. Is that what you mean?

edit: I stand corrected

i have not heard of muteki, but if they are like any other lugnut you should be fine as long as you are not putting them on with an impact wrench and over-torqueing them. i see threads of people bitching about how XxXxXx lugnuts are shitty because they fucked up the threads or stripped, when most of the time it is an incompetent person putting them on.

agreed. All I use my friend's impact wrench for is taking the nuts off, and lowest setting to do that repetitive turning, then I tighten the bolts with the hand wrench that came with car. All lug nuts should be fine.

i had them... they look great on your car.. especially when you got the black car, black wheels, and black lugnuts... theyre sweet..

BUT !!!!

the key they make for them sucks!! i went through like 3 of them
and the keys are hard to find, where my shop was.. it was a hassle..

get better lugnuts, like spoon or something lol jk..

it was cool when it lasted

&lt;--- Just ordered a set yesterday, I'll let you all know how they are. If they wind up sucking, I have a set of Gorilla locks I'll be using instead.

my lugs always come off with the impact gun. always go on with a torque wrench, torqued to 80lb/ft.

i am a little **** with torque specs tho... ok, very ****....

i just ordered some and got them on. light compared to stock and the black looks sweet on black wheels. good luck with them. hopefully i/we won't run into any problems with the key and what not.

I put the closed end black ones on my integra. Work great, and since I bought the car in bad shape and am fixing it up, the wheels come off A LOT! Never had a problem with the key.
