i'm pretty sure you need the tapered ones for rotas.

Mikie, I don't think it will be an issue with teh diff pitch during the order. Srsly though, if I get 5 people this is getting done. I will double check with him, but I think we are good if diff pitch's are needed. Its a matter of him moving 5+ of these items.

i think they are the ones that use an internal tool to take them off as opposed to something going over the lug itself (like a socket).

if that's the case, i'd hope the tool to take them off was somewhat unique.

I don't think so Paul. They are just the tuner style lug nut, like the other Muteki designs. Just in the awesome finish.This may change your mind, sorry

they definitely aren't locking.

not a big deal for me, though.
