replies like these are what made this forum go to crap! oh you hardly come here?! maybe because your a ****** noobee!
to answer his questions, spoon lugs, rays and skunk2 lugs are good quality. if you want something hard to take off i suggest kyokugen, hard to take off even with the key! ehehe

Re: Which Lug Nuts???? (sil2civic)
Make sure you choose lug nuts whose seating surface matches that of your wheels. (The seating surface is the area where the lug nut surface mates with that of the wheels.) Stock Honda wheels and lug nuts have an acorn, or spherical-shaped, seating surface. Aftermarket wheels have a conical, or tapered, seating surface, and need aftermarket lug nuts that match.

I have some gorilla spline-drive lugs, they are great for the money. ~16$ at discount tire. they also sell wheel locks where the outside of the nut just spins, seems like a "better" wheel lock design than most.
if you want even better quality consider mcgard.

i have the mugen lugs. i love them. i originally had the kyokugen lugs. after a while i was afraid they were going to strip. the mugen key fits much better than the kyokugen one. not to mention the mugen name.

I had a set as my previous lugs. I hated them with a passion. I have some Kyokugen lugs now. Which are slightly better.
I'm prolly going to get a set of Spoon or Mugen lugs. like mentioned above, the key fits so much better.

The top 4 lug nuts are the locking ones. They are 7 sided vs. 6 sided like the 16 below them. They have a groove cut in them. The silver key has a corresponding groove that slides into the groove that is cut in the lug nut. Each set has the groove cut in a different location on the side, so each set is unique.

Now I see. I could make out the groove, but couldn't tell they were 7 sided as well. Thanks for the info.

Re: Which Lug Nuts???? (sil2civic)
Rays are nice...but way too much money for lugnuts.
Kyokugens work well and are pretty cheap. The newer (made within ~year ago) keys shouldnt have any stripping issues, just dont use airtools.

So the Kyokugens that Evasive Motorsports are selling are the newer ones?

I am actually looking for a set now. Would these fit Rota rims? They don't look like the tapered tuner lug that I need.

The Spoons don't offer any locking capabilities, they are just plain ol' nut. And the paint on them was terrible, they chipped to easy. Ray's are a good investment.

Re: Which Lug Nuts???? (sil2civic)
i have gorillas... pretty normal.. they don't look too good, but they do serve they're purpose. as you guys kno i've been looking for a set of lug nuts that were more style and purpose oriented. i was gonna get SilverB18C1's spoon, but since he spoon's were crap, i'm glad i didn't. plus it wouldn't go rite with grams...
anyways i kno RAYS are expensive, but my homie can get them in any of the 3 colors for 130 shipped. i myself haven't gotten any due to the fact that my attention, and money, is on something else rite now.
