Default Kyokugen lug nut troubles

Anyone else (outside of myself and my friends) have troubles with Kyokugen lug nuts? They seem nice at first but we have found they strip quite easily after very little use and the key strips as well.

yeah, besides them stripping easily i have also found that they will not stay tight with the stock size bolts. I don't have the extended bolts but i have to tighten mine every weekend when I check them. They just won't stay tight. sucks but a lesson well learned.

i've only had mine two months or so, they work well so far
(i've only taken off three times), are you using air or by hand? i was advised only to use my strength to tighten. if they're ****, i'll ditch 'em tomorrow.

I have used my own strength to take them off and to put them on but they still strip easily. Im glad they came with 20 in the set so i can replace the shitty ones with the extras. Ive only had them for about 6 or 7 months too. Glad i don't have a 5 lug. I found out how to get the stripped lugs off : hammer a size 15 twelve sided socket onto the lug nut and go nuts (did so today )
