Im sorry but Muteki sucks. Depends on your wheels, the cheapest I would get are Skunk2s. But Im using the Volk Rays lug nuts.

Volk all the way. Top quality, and the whole set weighs about as much as three of your stock lug nuts.

I've had Muteki on my last two sets of aftermarket wheels. No issues, problems, or concerns. Just don't be an idiot with an air tool and crack the wrench.

I also use Muteki with mcguard locking lugs with no issues at all. I like the volk ones, but I don't make that bank $$$$ that Javy does. Plus these mcguard locks i have somewhat match the muteki's and here in dallas my volks would get snagged quick if i just had all volk lugs on them.

I'm still on stock wheels, but when I get some aftermarket wheels, it'll have these Kics Project on them.



"The unique feature of this patent pending lug nut is that each lug consist of 2 peices, where the top of the lugs spin freely from the tapered centering ring. This ensures a much tighter and precise hold than traditional lug nuts. It also minimizes the chances of scratching your wheels."

I'm using McGards, would have gone Work or Volk (made by the same company, the lugnuts are at least, I heard) but I don't think they make chrome ones.

i got my black mcgard lugs from tmengineering: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ghlight=mcgard

the key for the lock broke on me when i tried to torque the lug. it happened to another member here too. mcgard replaced it for free... i just had to pay to ship the broken lug back to them which kinda sucked since it was brand new.
