Lug Nuts that is... for a set of Rota C-8's...

Street aplication, no extended studs or anything.

Generic Lugs, light weight aluminum ones, the kyougen(sp) hexagon ones, Spoon?

Advantages? Dis-Advantages?

I do proper torquing, anyone have problems or storys?

Opinions please...

 

J-Rock (Vader) had a nice set of nuts. Rays I believe.

The Kyougen, or whatever they are called are JUNK...

 

You weren't supposed to tell anyone...LOL

 

A lot of people dont like the kyokugens because supposedly the key is easy to strip...

IMO, theyre light, theyre small diameter and theyre cheap. Just be careful, and dont use air tools with them.

 

I like my McGards.

There was a thread awile back and alot of people where saying bad things about
Skunk2 and Kyokugen. So I got some Axas combat power lugs off of http://www.inlinefour.com but they are for extended wheel studs.

mugens, i have c8's with mugen and they work perfectly. Im me if you'd like a pic.

 

I got these PHAT CHROME lugnuts and they were under $1 each.
From the HONDA dealer.

 

oh no, not again. i use cheapies too y0

 

I have a new set of lug nuts that will be here this weekend, hopefully. They are manufactured by the same company that makes the Rays lug nuts...I was lucky enough to talk someone into sending me a trial set before they were imported into the states...should be available mid-June. I'll have pics for everyone by next week, hopefully.

how sweet

 

Gorilla's. At $20 a set you can't beat them:

 

$20 a set of 16 or 20?

 

Kyokugen are the nicest in my opinion.. People just don't like them because they don't know how to use them.

 

Must be hard not knowing how to use your nuts

Jason-
who's in a funny mood today

 

they suck

 

are we debating lug nutz? lol

 

Me too. They are cheap and they work fine. If you change wheels a lot, like I do, you don't want expensive lugnuts. Lighter lug nuts, being so close to the middle of the wheel, aren't going to do squat in terms of performance.

What ever you get put some anti-sieze on the studs.

deeeze nutz

 

I think that is for a set of 16. I got my set from jcwhitney for my c8. Had them for 2 weeks and I like them.

 

heres a pic of the lugs.

how much should you torque your lug nuts? I kinda did it half-assed..

I have a set of Kyokugens because I couldnt justify spending nearly triple on a set of volk lugnuts. As long as you dont use an impact wrench, it should be okay.

I have a friend who has had them for a few years, and he removes his wheel quite often, and he has never stripped the key. MOst people say kyokugens suck because the key strips.

It all depends on what you're willing to spend for lugs
