I just picked up a set of cicuit 8's and now I need to get some new lug nuts since the oem ones will not fit. I am thinking I will get the kyokugen lug nuts since they are the cheapest and I don't think $150 set of lug nuts is necessary. I was wondering what everyone thinks of kyokugen? I have heard some people say they were poor quality, is this true? Thanks for your help.

 

i was in the same position as you yesterday. if you don't care for the black, you can go to your local discount tire, big o, america tire co. and pick up a set of gorilla tuner lug nuts, they're inexpensive, i got a set of 16 with key for 33 with tax.

run a search for gorilla lug nuts and see what others think

 

kyokugen = **** ....i had them on my volks...then one day i couldnt get em off my volks...so i visited a guy with a welder...then my volks looked like burnt toast...enough said....they suck...find something better

 

 

are the gorilla's alot better from the kyokugen? i am also looking for lugs

 

go with the gorilla or mcGuard lugs

 

Read my post before you go and buy them

you wanna know, i had to take off my studs to take those POS lugnuts off man. i wouldn't put those lugnuts if they gave me 500 bucks...seriously. 100 bucks might sound a lot of money but what if you buy crappy lugnuts and you can't take them off? what are you gonna do then when your straded in the middle of no where. i guess once it happens to you, you are fully aware on the consiquences of cheap lugs..plea

second off you should get rays lugnuts those are very good.. but expensive=\

 

third off, you should get a type R because the others are slower. Hee hee

fourth off, you should brush youre teeth after ever meal.

Seriously, i hear if you hand torque the lugs, they should be fine. I believe they say this on the packaging as well. Use an impact drill on them and its toasties for ya

What is a good place to get gorilla lug nuts? McGuard's? Do you think if I hand toyque the kyokugen's (integnyc) they will be ok?

 

you can get gorillas on jcwhitney.com or you can go to your local tire shop (discount tire, america tire, big o) and ask for them, should be around 30 dollars for 16

 

I bought a set of kyokugen's off ebay on saturday, I guess I will cancel and get a set of gorilla's. Better be safe than sorry.

 

The Kyokugens are fine...you just cant torque them with an airgun. Hand torque them, dont OVERtorque them, and you'll be absolutely OK.
