thanx...will


i demmand a strike on kyokguen

 

I have two sets of them and I've been fine. I put anti-seize on the threads each time I put them on, do you?

 

I just went with my g/f today to get her new Rotas put on with Kyokguken lugs and when we got the key back it already looked almost stripped!!

They only used a torque wrench also, so that shows the key is just a POS.

 

I've had mine for almost a year and have rotated my tires three times with no problems yet...I'd try using that anti-seize though, sounds like it's help...

 

How much do you torque them down? I torque mine to 80psi (recomended by honda) and it seems to have rounded the wrench.

Yeah, we tightened them to 80lbs as well and the key is pretty rounded, how do you get a new key? You dont need to buy a new set of lug nuts, do you??

 

probably the single worst lugnuts ever made...cheap pieces of ****...honestly! i went through at least 4 sets...and NO, i didnt overtighten them, abuse them, etc.

 

seriously i've pampered those freakking kyokguken lugz.....i've lube em up...i've never torque past 80....i have a friend that has a descent key..so if anybody needs to borrow it....just drive down here to sunny so cal..laughing out loud

p.s........i am going to sue kyokgen....a customer at my buddy's shop ruined 2 of his gun metal regamaster evo's...well actually they were gun metal rota slip streams..but still u get the point....

 

THANK GOD I read this post.. i was gonna get a set... now i'm stumped.. if i can't afford spoon or volk lugs.. what other brands are good? the spoons or volks are like 130 bucks to 200 bucks a set!!! thats my arm and my leg!

 

I've had my set of kryos for 6 months now and no problems, I also hand tighten them and never use a torque wrench. The key can be easily stripped. Just go get either McGuard or Gorrilla locks for half the price.

 

get the gorilla lug nuts from jcwhitney.com. they're about $30 or so for a set and they don't strip.

 

The ones that are similar to the McGuard Spline Drive lug nuts?

 

You might want to rethink the lawsuit as it will most likely prove to be a waste of time/money for you and you'll get nothing out of it other than a headache. Just be glad you only ruined a cheap ripoff wheel instead of a real one.

 

The Skunk2 titanium lug nuts are pretty nice..and i have heard good stuff about them..
pretty different looking too..
