I was looking at the Volk lugs until I saw the $135 price tag and only 4 locks

Must be black or a dark color.

Looked at the Gorilla lugs that are $30. One guy said they did not seat right with his Slipstreams and chipped a little of the paint (Would kill if that was to happen to my brand new C8's)

Gorilla Lugs and what JCW says about them:

"Bulge design provides more seating surface than traditional tuner lug nuts. Lugs are made of heat-treated steel, chrome-plated or colored for beauty and strength. Ultra-strong chrome-vanadium steel key."




Heard a lot of good things about Macguard lugs, but can't find them anywhere.
I hear they are a little pricey but great quality.

I'm not interested in Kyokugen lugs since I've heard to many horror stories. I know they have updated them, but I still hear they are not that good

Anyhow, what lugs are you rollin' on?

 

Got the black gorilla's from Summit. They were less than 30 bucks. Some of the paint comes off if you use an impact wrench though.

 

Is the paint chipping really noticeable? Will it start to run and the chips get bigger?
How is the black on the lugs? Chip easily when torqueing them?

I would definitely Hand torque my wheels, so maybe I cna avoid all this

Sorry about all the Q's. Just got to get the 411 before making the purchase.

 

Hand torque and you'll be fine. I tried an impact wrench and it chips where the key hits the nuts. But the chips won't run or get bigger. I think they're anodized, but I'm not sure. For the price it really can't be beat.

 

I had black gorilla lugs with my slipstreams. I rotated the tires three times and they have never chipped the paint.

 

I'm likeing what I'm seeing

I'm about to head to work and order my tires while there today.

I'll check back in the morning and make my decision

Thanks!

 

Rays lugs

 

I have chrome gorillas from discount tire.

 

$135

 

I know, I didn't pay that. **** i am rolling on rotas

 

Axas

 

Where did u get those ones, mantic?

 

kyokugen..they are kinda crappy imo and a bunch of other people have horrible stories about them

 

Those look nice, how much u paid for those and where u ordered them from????

 

i have the blue gorilla lugs on my black slips. the paint is slightly scratched up them, but they were cheap. i like them overall.

 

Found them.... http://www.inlinefour.com/axulraclugnu.html
not a bad price for hopefully a good quality, how have they performed for u???

 

I've had Gorillas...pretty nice.


I am looking to get some Skunk2 nuts and studs.


NEVER PUT YOUR LUGS ON WITH AN IMPACT!!! What happens when you get a flat and you can't get your wheel off because you got the lugs too tight?

 

stand on the focker

 

I'm rolling on stock lugs. Oh wait I have stock wheels!

 

daiyama racing nuts from japan these are the lugs skunk 2 and i believe axas copied for thier knockoff's im not sure about axas but i know skunk 2 copied them



as far as the gorilla ones go i wouldnt buy them i use to have blue ones and the powder coat just flakes off very easily so i just hit them with a wire wheel and now they are chrome

the Axas are the same nuts as the Daiyama. Different name.

 

I have Kyokugen, and I don't like them too much. The key kinda strips so I have to hit the key off with my torque wrench


Rays lugs are on the way if RandD gets them to me

 

Now thats a pimp *** tire.

 

arent those long lugs aimed towards having longer wheel studs to match them?

 

Anything but kyokugens!! They completely strip after taking them on and off two or three times.....I figured out how to get the stuck ones off though - hammer a 15mm twelve sided socket on the stripped lug nut. i almost jacked my TE37's because of those worthless lug nuts.
I want the VOLK lugs or maybe some black gorillas
