what lugs should i get for my advan rs?

i planned on using the stock lugs because they had the wheel lock but i guess i cant use them.

any suggestions?

thanks a lot,

albert

 

muteki and kyokugen are the best bang for the buck.

light, cheap, and strong. check out a-spec or evasive.

 

mcgard spline drive

 

On the more expensive side you also have Rays in aluminum and Kics composite lugnuts.

 

****n rays.. someone jacked ONE of my lugs, and now i've gotta shell out 100$ for a new set..

 

I had rays lug nuts on my ITR, and because I didn't use anti-seize compound they seized on the steel studs, and I had to get two replaced.

I had some mugen lugs that were heavier, but had steel threads with alluminum around, and never had a problem.

A mechanic told me that you should allways use anti-seize compound when mating two different metals, ie. steel studs and alluminum lug nuts.

 

All those $100+ lugnuts are great if you have money falling out of your pockets and can afford to buy 2 sets from the beginning so you'll have a spare key and spare lugs for when they are lost and/or broken.

Otherwise the Muteki and Kyokugen only weigh a few grams more, cost 75% less, use a standard key, and are 10x more durable.

 

10x more durable? hows that? (not that i'm recommending rays & etc lugs)

as or money falling out of my pockets, i wish that were the case so i could order

my friggin' lugs already.. but i'm still trying to figure an alternative.. maybe they'll

fall off the lug-nut tree i have in the backyard, next to my money tree of course...

 

what do u mean when u guys say they use a key?

does it mean its like a wheel lock?

or does everyone have access to this key(is the key that comes with the lugnuts, unique for every package)

 

4 out of the 20 are lock nugs, that use the key that comes with the others..

all keys i believe are the same..

 

forged steel > any aluminum
Muteki & Kyokugen = forged steel
Rays, Spoon, Work, Buddy Club, etc. = aluminum (or some variation of it)

 

mcgard splinedrive. They have a very nice rotating base. This helps the nut to torque properly and not rub against your wheel.

Additionally, you can buy just one or five incase you do loseone or get robbed.
got them from summitracing

 

With the muteki and kyokugen, they are a standard spline drive, and are NOT locks in any way. There is a key, but it is a generic key available at any wheel shop so they aren't any more secure than a standard lugnut, just lighter and stronger.

 

so the rays and more expensive ones comes with a non generic key unlike the muteki and kyokugen?

sorry im such a nub at this

 

Rays lugs use 3 different key styles,they are not all the same.
