I am actually going to get them powder coated them black.

 

they certainly look good on CW i wasn't expecting them on stocks but i'm they are

 

Nice!

 

lookin good..how do you keep them stock CWs so fresh and so clean?

 

Brings out the center caps real wheel..also attracts attention which i see as Black would be kool though.

 

are they like $5 for each lug nut??

 

Yes, they are $5 each, I got them from SPOONSPORTS and a set of mag lugs. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=154329

The only thing is the red anodized rubs off real easy after putting them on once. I am planning to get them powdercoated black.

I clean the wheels often, I got them powder coated back in November of 00.

 

i have some black lugs on my white te37's... didn't think it would look good but i like it!

 

 

which lugs?

 

 

looks good, but why get them powdercoated black? couldn't you have bought cheaper lug nuts that are black already?

 

The Spoon Lugs are open-ended correct? Are they better than the KYOGUGEN or Skunk2?

I'm looking for a set of Quality, , Open Ended, Black Lugs...Anyone know where I can get soem Spoons?

The spoons are NOT open-ended.

Also, aren't the seating surfaces between the two (Spoon lugs & oem rims) different? Tapered vs. conical?

 

these are aluminum, or at least they seem to be, very light, lighter than the kyogugen, unless they are not supposed to be. Anyone know what the Spoon are supposed to be made out of? If they are they do not seem very strong. Kind of worried, I just put them on and took the pictures then took them off, I don't like the red, it does stand out to much.


here are some more pics.

one question:
wouldnt it be easier to get stolen by some asses?
just a thought!

looks nice on CW

 

Kyokugens

I've had my set for about two years and have had zero problems with them. Just use antiseize on the threads and a torque wrench on the key and you'll be fine.

 

i like the spoon lugs but too bad they don't have a locking lug nut to protect your rims from thieves.

 

i posted some more pics. Look up.

I was thinking of getting a set of McGard locks, the ones with teh colored caps to match the set when they are black.

 

Nice spooooons. They will definately look better black.

 

get a video up with the wheels while your driving

 

Those are exactly like mine. The red kicks ***.

They're aluminum which is a soft metal and probably why they don't seem too "strong". If you shove two in your pocket for a day, you'll end up with minor imperfections in the finish... but who cares, since they for function first. The finish is supposed to get marks on the seat mark if you torque your wheels correctly.

These are tapered lugs. Don't OEM R wheels use a acorn lug?

i think CW looks better then flat black

 

OT: But who makes the best lugnuts and the lightest? I was looking at these... http://www.inlinefour.com/axulraclugnu.html and these http://www.inlinefour.com/skunmagraclu.html Which ones do you think?

 

Did the person you bought them from tell you that they are tappered seat? and that OEM are acorn seat?
By using those on your OEM rims the lugs will not seat correctly, only about 10% of the lug actually seats. That small seating section gets eaten up and the rims will have free play..

RBoosted will be posting a pic to show what I mean
