after doing a lil search, i found out that the Kyokugen Lug Nuts are not too bad...hell if u know what ur doing they are amazing and wont strip.... anyways when reading the results after my search some members said the Kyokugen Lug Nuts problem of their Key was fixed in their later version's..... my question is.... How can one find out what version he/she has and where to get the new ones?

how about you use 3 of the same set on each wheel and buy a set of 4 wheel locks?

yeah that could work...are wheel locks light?

 

I can't answer your question, but I can offer my advice about these lugs.

1. Use anti-seeze when you install them. You WILL thank yourself later
2. Torque them down to proper specs by hand with an accurate torque wrench.

I took my car too a shop and when they put the wheels back on, they used an impact gun. The next time I tried to rotate my tires I stripped the key because they were on too tight. After that, I used anti-seeze and torqued them down properly and they came off like butter 2 months later (today)

 

bump for the AM peeps.

 

I use 2 different sets of locking lugs.

 

All Rays, Kyokugen, and Muteki lugs as well as a few no name brands are made by the same company just so everyone knows.

have fun, and if u use a torque wrench then you wont strip them.

 

I bought a set of kyo's and they seem really nice. Like BigZ said, just like wheels, lugs are made by one company and distributed throughout to other companies where they stamp them as their own. Wheel locks will help.

 

thanks u guys
