ok to use with hx wheels or should i go with stockers?

 

I've heard a few bad things about these. They are probably not too bad if you torque them down properly, but overtighten them and they can be a bear to get off. Searh in the Type R forum as there was a recent thread about them.

Also if you are using the stock wheels, I beleive the lugnut seat is rounded while the Kyokugen lugs taper is straight, and therefore will not seat properly.

Kyokugens are conical, so they won't work properly with rounded-seat stock wheels. I didn't have any problems with mine, but they were a pain to swap wheels with all the time, having to use a key all the time was annoying. I'd recommend normal lugs, they're not that much heavier and they're so close to the hub...the volk ones are super light tho, but expensive

 

Yup, those Volk nuts are super freaky! But alas, the truly are expensive as hell.

 

I heard somewhere you shouldn't subject the volk/spoon lugs to repeated torquings...is this BS? or is there validity to it? They are made of some freaky alien chit, i bet they had to put something in them to keep them from floating away, they feel like plastic weight-wise
