Default WTB: One Project Kics Lug!

I just snapped a Project Kics R40 12x1.5mm in Neo-Chrome. Now I need a replacement, it's just the regular lug without the lock. If anyone has one or a few laying around, I'd be willing to pay for one!

How the hell did you do that?!? Let me guess over tightening?

Yeah, this was just with hand tightening too, surprised indeed, used a gorilla wrench and snapped one right off. Maybe I could've applied more PB Blaster on it, but nonetheless, i expected this company to have been a bit stronger.

it's not from over tightening. these lugs are prone to breaking.

When I called Mackin they told me that they dont sell individual. So I was out of luck that is why I removed them and never put them back on.
