Ok sorry to post this here instead of in the wheel/tire or A/C section but I trust the opinion of the R community over the others.

I am getting my set of regamasters tomorrow hopefully and know that I am going to need to get the conical \_/ lug nut setting.

Does anyone suggest a certain brand or anything? I have been searching and for a decent price, the only ones I see are buddy club and blox.

Anyone running anything else that they would suggest? I dont need any baller lugs that are like $100.

BTW: I have black muteki lug nuts on my accord and they suck. They are beginning to rust so I will pay more for quality.

 

Well... get aluminum lug nuts and get some anti-seize for the studs and you won't have any problems.

You can pay $50 for Muteki or spend $100 or more for Works, Rays, Kics, Spoons, Mugens, etc. IMO they all do the same thing. As long as you use anti-seize, don't see any problems running any type of lug nuts.

 

i just dont want my lugs to rust. i got the muteki on my accord as stated and i can see they are starting to rust...

 

Some of us are there as well as here...

 

Just buy the normal Gorilla or McGard lugs at the local autozone or something. They should be around $35 for a 20 pack.

Or, you could order some through Tire Rack.

With that said, I have about 3 extra brand new sets of chrome "tuner" style lugs that I have never used (they came with new wheels that I have bought). If you want a set for cheap, PM me.

And I'm indifferent on aluminum lugnuts. They do save a few ounces, but they aren't nearly as durable.

 

i do not think you should use anti-seize on lug nuts as it can give improper torque values. an you shouldnt need anti-seize as long as the lugs are torqued correctly and not overtightened with impact guns.

mcgard and gorilla are good for standard polished/chrome finished lugs. i went with muteki for my black open-ended extended lugs and have had no problems. i have also used mugen black lugs with success (i believe they are steel like oem so a bit heavy)

 

That is correct. DO NOT use any kind of 'lubricant' on your studs.

 

And if this car is going to do any sort of autoX or HPDE I would say stick with steel lug nuts. If you don't want the lug to scratch the wheel inside the lug hole you can get the R40 style lugs that have a seated washer, to prevent from taking paint off the wheel. Good luck

 

thanks for all the replies.

i found that apec sells a variety of lugs.

The main reason for getting lugs are:

1. Have to have the right seat
2. I dont want to scratch the wheels what so ever bc they are looking brand new
