What was wrong with your Muteki lug nuts before? They're lug nuts... all they do is hold your wheel on.

i wanted to know if the quality was better between the lugs

Muteki is a well known lug-nut company isnt it?

well if it makes you feel better, i've broken muteki lugnuts before with the cheap ass key the supply @80ft lbs.

Kyokugen keys are a lil more sturdier, but not a whole lot better

Rays lugs/keys are durable but not worth the money

Work lugs "feel" a lil brittle

C-West feels solid are are cheap compared to Rays/Works lugnuts

sure they hold your wheels on, but it doubles up as a "security" measure with the distinct lugnut shape (nothing a gator grip will crack open for you though

)

i've snapped 2-3 gozigen ones at 90ft/lb. silly me.

the box mine came in did have a big warning saying not to torque over 70 ft-lbs, so them breaking at 90 doesnt seem all that strange.

*Jeff240sx* · 05-30-2005, 11:34 AM

What the fuck are you guys tightening to 90ft/lbs? The lugnuts aren't supposed to go that high, nor are aftermarket wheels.

odd, mine said 88 N-m is recommended, which is under 70 ft-lbs i believe.
