I used to have some Kyokugen lug nuts and they worked great, but they got to be a pain in the *** after a while.. Who else makes open ended lug nuts of good quality? Also who makes extended studs?

 

is there a reason to have opened ended as opposed to the regular closed lugs?

 

No reason unless you're using a spacer and would like the additional amount of threads on the nut...which he is not using.

I'm happy with the Skunk2. They're going to run you about $100 a set though.

 

skunk 2's are nice .

 

I highly recommend AGAINST skunk2 wheelstuds and lugnuts.
10 of the 20 on my car either siezed, galled, stripped or snapped.
Some within the first month.

I recommend ARP studs.

 

Jeff Sloan uses ARP extended studs. Alot of people complained about the skunk2 studs. I'll see if I have the topic saved.

Here you go, this link should work.

order a box of the "Extended Conical Seat Bulge Nuts ( Open End )" and use the stock studs.


There was mention (somewhere) of a CL-S/TL-S application (a little bit longer Honda stud) that could be used in a Intrgra hub...

 

you can just use oem honda lug nuts, work fine for me with my extended studs. From a 94 accord ex they are openended, just use a deep socket

 

i was told in order to change the weel studs you would need to replace the wheel bearings. could this be true?

 

Depends on how long the studs are. The ones I have (I *think* they're from Spoon) are 10mm longer and removing the hub was not necessary for installation. Just find a right angle and slide it in.

 

hahaha, figures

 

We were talking about skunk2 extended wheel studs, not the lug nuts. I don't think skunk2 makes any lug nuts?

 

They do, the quality is up to par with their studs too

 

right off the comptech website:

 

Skunk2 Racing Lugnuts

 

Yeah WAI, Skunk2 does make dud nuts... Im two short now, the threads on them are stripped now... And they cost like 80 bucks... They are super light, but super cheap... And they also get scratched up easy(not that it matters to me). But for that price, these lug nuts should be top notch...

First skunk2 product that I have dissapproved.

 

ARP Studs & Skunk2 Lug nuts. You won't have any problems with this setup.

 

102 bucks for a set of Lug Nuts, how long have you used the Buddy Club lugs??? I also use my skunk2's on the street, are you running your Buddy Club lugs on street and track?
TIA

 

what about these?

The Axas lugnuts from Inline are really good. I've had them for a few months now on my racecar, and they hold up to abuse well. I zip them on and off pretty often, and the anondizing is still there.

The Buddy Club and the Axas are the same

I run the Axas on the street with skunk2 studs which suck I got five sets before I found 16 I could use
