SUCK!

I just went to install them tonight and after one install they look like I have taken them on and off 20 times. You would think for $120 bucks they would stay looking pretty new after only one install. Anyone else experience this problem?

 

i just bought a set and will be putting them on, i hope this isn't the case

 

^^ Ditto. We'll see when I put them on.

 

why would you waste your money on set of lugnugs? I'd rather spend my money on a performance part, company like RAYS like people to waste money on bling stuff

 

I guess you could look at it that way but i look at it like this. Compared to the heavy lugs I had on before and the almost 1lb per corner in weight I'm saving, then these are a really good power mod for slightly over $100s in that I lose 4lbs of unsprung weight.

 

You're not the only one. I had a set of black Rays lugs and they chipped easy.

 

that sucks. I just got some McGard lugs for my EVO and wasn't impressed with the quality what so ever

 

they do suck.... & cannot take a beating on the track, almost guaranteed to strip them... but if you handle them fine like baby chicklets they'll look pimp as u roll up to the local car meets

 

i had issues with them too. the coating came off and they started to get stripped after only coming on/off a few times

 

I've had some cheap ($45) black Muteki lugs for a while now and they still look new after being taken on and off about 10 times... just ordered some of the Neo-Chrome Mutekis to try out for the titanium look, for inexpensive lightweight lugs they aren't bad! I wouldnt have expected the quality to be crappy with Rays...

 

Nils, you race, what do you suggest for lightweight lugs?

 

yea, the mutekis are good.. ive used a set of open-ended ones now for about a year with no issues...

Aluminum is not the best material for lug nuts. Now make 'em in Titanium and we got something!

 

i have some black rays lugs and they do kinda suck but they are still super light. i would take them over steel anyday

 

the Mutekis are cold forged 1008 steel so they are as strong or stronger than stock, but weigh half as much
