I picked up a set of both today, the forged lugs 12x1.5 thread pitch set of 16.. and I got the extended studs for my Integra.

I noticed that my stock lugs or "tuner" lugs would come lose after solo1 events, Im hoping this will take care of my problem..

Any suggestions or comments?

 

I've had their studs on the front end of my car. I'll say that they haven't come loose in the hub and all I did was press fit them, although they do recommend a tack weld.

What didn't impress me, was their fitmet in the hub. When you go to press it in, the surface portion of the grip that is meant to grab the hub deforms enough to "mushroom" some material under the head of the stud. So the head will not sit totally flat/flush with the backside of the hub like oem. It can cause the stud to be in a slightly off from perpendicular (relative to the hub) position.

I've never had any issue with loosening lugs, stock or aftermarket. But I torque by hand to 80 ft-lbs. If you were doing that before and they still came loose, were you using the right style lugs with rims? I.e. acorn vs taper, stock vs aftermarket, etc.

 

before I was using stock lugs with the ls rims

now with the new mugen rnr's, Im going to be using the stud/thread combo from skunk.

 

ive heard of too many ppl breaking the skunk 2's

i'd go with ARP
I'm using them, and very happy with fitment

Cant use stock lugs with those

 

I'm running Skunk2 lugs with ARP studs(Honda specific ones) and have had zero problems. PErsonally, I could get the ARP studs, all they make is bolts/studs while Skunk2, well who knows what chitty factory their studs come from.
