I need black superlight weight lug nuts really fast. What should I get and where?!? I am getting spoon rims on wed and i want some lug nuts to match the black paint and I want them to be light!

And Id rather steer clear of the $200 volk lugs =]

 

You can get some kryokugen lugs for $55 shipped. 20 come in a set and they are open ended. They come with a 7-sided key. I think you can still get them from groupbuy.

 

Kyokugen makes black ones, get them at GBC http://groupbuycenter.com/buy.asp?row_id=4630 $55 Shipped

 

I think I got like 8 new black kyokugens layin around if that helps

 

Rays makes a nice lightweight set. $$$ though.....

 

try daliracing .i got my for 41 shipped.here the link http://www.daliracing.com/v666-5/cat....cfm?focus=693

 

are lugs REALLY that heavy??

 

Yea, get a Fastbrakes Wilwood brake kit and save 8-10 lbs per wheel, much better than a few oz.

 

You spent how much on Spoon wheels, but you dont want to cough up the extra dough for high end lugs?? Hehe, sorry, I dont have any helpful input, just thought that was a bit funny.

 

I got some Skunk2 racing lugs for my '92 hatch, and they are the lightest lugs that i've had experience with. They have an open ended, bronze/gun metal look, and very very light.

 

yeah...no joke...they really do suck...went through three sets before i wised up...they strip waaay to easy...would have been better off spending the money i was trying to save and buying a really nice set like the RAYS lug nuts...

 

You definitely have to be careful tightening those lugs cuz the key strips easy. I always hand tighten the lugs, never torque wrench.

 

8-9 lbs???

I don't know what kind of lugs you have on your car...but mine weigh NO WHERE near 8-9 lbs.

 

I always use the torque wrnch on Kyokugens and mine are just fine.

 

Maybe someone makes an extra lightweight axle nut for you guys as well. This thread is absolutely ridiculous.

Spending $200 for lightweight lugs puts you people in the same category as those fools who get rear wings for the "downforce" on their daily driver. Ever heard of rotational inertia??

 

what about spline drives?!?!??! are they any good?

 

my kyokugens are doing just fine, and ask dohcdx i change my wheels alot...

 

I got Kyoguns because I wanted black lugnuts for my gunmetal wheels. I don't care if they are light.

 

You didn't ever read his message before writing your reply did you? Doesn't make you come off as being too bright does it?
