[Irukandji]

[Jakob]

[aznpoopy]

Gorilla wheel locks/lug nuts are available at America's Tire/Discount Tire

or from splparts. they are $26 bucks for a set of 20. includes a key.

and don't overtorque that shit.

[FaLKoN240]

Yeah, don't get Kyokugen or Muteki or any of that bullshit.

Rays, Works, and aluminum lugnuts are for show IMO because you can't torque them too hard.

Get Gorilla if you're cheap and want some strong durable nuts :P

Or you could try searching, I made a thread like this not too long ago.

[axiomatik]

gorilla. I've been rocking the same set for almost 6 years now with no problems, and they are a good price.

[Dousan_PG]

I love my Kics

pricey but badass
and 17mm

[kuruptR]

t1-r Titanium lugnuts, more pricey, more badass.

[surge s14]

Gorilla is what i have been rocking but keys end up fucking up

[kensreliableb18b]

ahh yes i have much love for my kics as well!

[s13gold]

kics are for the ballers...props to u guys...

[Wei240]

vatozone, hahaha

i hear people call it ghettozone all the time, but vatozone is a new one for me


i used gorrilla and the mcgard whatever, they all work, you probably over torque the key,
don't use impact wrench for any of them (unless you've loosen them already by hand when taking out, and putting on, don't use impact wrench to tighten)...

[rowdogg03]

its called.... uhhohhzone

exactly
i hand tighten
then ratchet
then a breaker bar to torque

overtorqued is bad. breaks keys. weakens the stud.

[jdmspooge]

Buddy Club lug nuts FTW! Torqued and no problems, but they're pricey. LOL

[ronmcdon]

i've had good experience with the muteki's and gorilla's. I've had a set of each, and they held up to a lot of abuse (including use of impact wrench w/out proper torque adjustment) without incident.

recently purchased some rays extended. should be interesting to see how they hold up. I def will be using a manual wrench for this.

[arkive43]

gorrillazz for me aswell, havent had any issues.....

[Synicals13]

i just picked up some muteki's a few weeks back. They are alright, the blue paint chips quick. But they look good and are quite durable and about 35-40shipped depending on your sources. Just be gentle with them like everyone else had already stated.

[sijia10358]

im using Works the blue ones...those are pretty good! the keys seems to be very strong and the lugnuts are extremely light!! I bought a set of 20 lugnuts cuz of 5lug about $120

[driftsilvias13]

rays has never given me problems and are very light :D

[chmercer]

ive had gorillas for like 3 years, i have no idea what you are doing to break the keys, stop torquing your wheels to 150 ft lbs

[slavetothemuzic]

I use McGard.

Haven't had any problems.

[250sxdet]

Get project kics. They're made of forged chromoly so they are super strong. I dont think kyokugen's are bad. I run them and they are fine. I believe they are made by project kics too, because the packaging has project kics on there. Anyway, i got a set of the kyokugen's for like $60.

[sijia10358]

torquing is very important too!!! i torque about 90lb

[articdragon192]

I torque to about 80 ft-lbs and no problems.

[axiomatik]

definitely torque your lugs properly, you can also warp your brake disk if you overtighten.
