wheels:5 lug volk te-37's

i am planning on getting some rays lug nuts soon. i did a search, and if i remember right, rays has the "old" closed ended nuts and the "new" open ended type.

is there anything special about the open ended nuts besides the weight savings? if the "old" closed ended type is cheaper, i'll opt for them.

any other suggestions as to other lugs? (spoon, kyokugen, etc.)

the open-ended nuts will allow you to run extended wheel studs.
other than that, no real advantage...

 

i just read a post on extended wheel studs. from what i gather, i won't ever need them.

do you have the rays lugs? do you know of any brands that you would recommend? i was about to pounce on a deal by dropspeed when he was selling his black lugs, but i was too late.

$140 (from what i have seen on sites) is a lot for lugs.

 

kepani-

have you seen these?

I bought 2 sets cause they were so cheap. quality is

I've owned rays and spoon lugs and these are just as good if not better. the finish on the rays seemed very delicate and these seem to hold up better.

If it matters, these are even made in Japan.

i had spoon and Rays
but i like Rays more.. because it has wheel locks.. u won't go wrong with Rays

 

I've also got a set of RAYS lug nuts, i got black for my gun metal Buddy Club P-1 Racing wheels. I like mine a lot too, you won't regret getting a set of these. I got them for 95$ from Dali racing, nice guy to deal with, it took me 4 days to get them and I'm all the way over in Norway

 

any pics of those lugs. who sells em in HI. i'm on the big island. was in kauai last week. seen a few cars around kapaa. lots o cars over here. hilo track events are happening again. whats kauai's track like. never seen it.

 

Here's a pic of red ones, they are also available in blue and black

 

Sorry to hijack this thread but will the Rays work on stock rims? If not are there any light weight lug nuts that work on the stock rims? TIA

 

Rays lugs will not work properly on the stock wheels.

 

Well, according to the packaging on my set of lug nuts it looks like the Rays are available in three different styles: tapered, flat and domed(for OEM), but as the text is in japanese i'm not to sure of what it actualy says, so it's best to check it out with someone who sell them.

 

Thanks guys. I will check it out

 

nunracer, i just placed an order for the flat black 20 pc. set w/ locks. i'll be waiting for some nuts to show up at the door

thank you kelly for the reference. i'll be sure to let you guys know how they fit the te's.

If you're looking for a set of black lug nuts that will fit the stock wheels, you can get a set of stock lug nuts for the '91-96 NSX. Part number is 90304-SA7-811. List price is around $5 each but you can get them cheaper from the usual Acura dealers who discount parts.

EDIT: I see you have aftermarket wheels, so these won't fit, but this info might be useful to anyone else who is looking for black lugs with stock wheels.

 

nsxtasy, thanks for the heads up

duralmin (still don't know if i'm spelling it correctly) lugs just arrived today. here is a quick pic of the lug, locking lug, and key.



i haven't held a rays lug in my hand (they must be light), but these duralmin lugs are very feather-like and their quality is great. they look like they're made of hardened plastic like kkim mentioned.

Run away from the Kyokugen. Nothing but a headache.

I'm about to retire my Kyokugens because I think it's crazy if lugnuts and the key cant take any abuse from an impact tool.

Strangly, those lugs look like Kyokugens.

 

Looks good, let us know how the quality is!

 

Sorry to hijack your thread but I have a question regarding the functionality of the Rays wheel locks.

thanks,
CS

are these lugs (duralmins) re labeled kyokugens? i've never seen kyokugens up close. i'm confused...

nonetheless, i'll definitely report on how they fare on the r.

 

yep- please keep us posted on how your set holds up. my set(s) are doing just fine, so far, but I don't have the locks to deal with. the lugs by themselves look like high quality stuff.

glad to see you got them and like them so far.

how could I tell if they are relabled Kyokugens? any markings to look for?

 

Read to the 2nd page of the post, it says that they are tapered lugs, not suppose to use with stock ITR wheels&gt;?

 

since they are tapered, they SHOULD NOT be used w/ oem rims

 

I need some lugs for the AV3 Volk RAcing wheels and was told to get the turner lugs. Anyone has any info or picture of how these lugs look like? And are the smaller than standard lugs nuts and how do you secure them to the wheel stud?
