no, always strip the key, and never use it with air gun and over torque it

Who cares if they are Real or Not. They will not Seat, they will get chewed up, It is UNSAFE and is Stupid to use, when you could just use OEM lug nuts.

good point, but since i can get these for 40 bucks, i was thinking of getting them now and maybe saving them for some rota attacks/ss's (which i can safely use the kkgns with)?


OR

would saving up for some volks/mugen ones be better (and why?)

thanks for the help guys

I like mine...they seat well on the Rotas (the stocks did not). That's why I got them.

The key does seem easy to strip, but like he says, just handtorque them and you should be fine. I cant justify spending that much $ on lugnuts, although the Rays are very very nice.

I like mine Dino... Use them on aftermarket rims though, not stock ITRs.
