KYOKUGEN IS SUCK!!!!

in short, they are not a good idea.

 

The socket they come with is a POS. You have to be very careful when you remove and install them or the socket will break. Other than that, there okay.

 

THey're hella light and they work fine if you're not retarded

 

I got some black ones and they are fine as long as you don't use an air wrench to tighten them.

 

Like I said if you're not retarded. Don't be a lazy *** and use an air wrench they take no time at all to screw in with the key...

[e]You should torque them down with a torque wrench anyway[/e]

i never had a problem with mine, i like mine, they work fine if you dont act like a gorilla and over torque them

 

The skunk ones are only half the weight and they are much stronger.

 

No problem with mine. Affordable, lighter than stock.

 

yeah kyokugen is suck.......ummmm no

 

I getting sick of mine, the key sticks in the nut. Any other ideas of a strong set for my enkei rp-01 wheels

 

I am all for kyokugen nuts. They help my car turn better, accelerate better, and brake better. The weight savings have cut my lap times by a full half second. The nuts are my secret weapon!

These nuts are a small price to pay, considering what you'll get in return. Everyone around respects me, and i've got all the girls, thanks to Kyokugen wheel nuts.

 

I've had no trouble with mine, so far. However, I don't use an air impact gun on them, and I put anti-seize compound on the studs before installing them (dissimilar metals can stick badly otherwise).

 

I have been useing them for over a year now and on 2 different sents of rims and I have had no problems with them at all. I had a set of gorilla locks before and the key stripped out tiwce. Just don't be lazy and use an air wrench on the kyokugens and you should be fine.

 

they work fine, and to piggyback on what's already been said, you only need 80LBS of torque to tighten safely. no use in breaking your back(and not to mention your key) to tighten your nuts. no air and a torque wrench and they'll be great

 

kyukogens are garbage.

 

thank you for all the replies. now i'm aware. you should never torque down lugs with an air/ impact wrench in the first place. thanx guys.
