^ Ideally I want close-ended lugs. Those that you linked are HOT! I think you just changed my mind and saved me some cash. However, I do want the Muteki titanium finish instead.... and hopefully a set of locks that sorta match.

i'm going to grab a set mcgard spline drive lugs, they're guaranteed not to peel, rust, or chip. you can find them here: http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch.asp?N=400067

^ I've seen them before Looking for something a little more "unique". I may have a brand in mind

I think I am going to go with the muteki sr35 close end blue ones. Prices you can't beat it.

phossotronic

the only thing with those muteki sr35's is that they are pretty tiny compared to some other types. the blue closed ended ones would look hot with the right wheels though.

I've changed my mind. After looking at some pictures on the RJ site, I've decided I do like the open-end lug look

I want these:


Color?

iTrader: (1)

I like the blue

jmkiang

iTrader: (5)

^ Yeah well, my calipers are painted RED and my rims are dark gray. I think BLUE lugs would be a little too much color.

anarchy[sear]

iTrader: (1)

Then i would go red then :p

Before seriously splurging, I picked up some Muteki SR48s to test out the open, extended look. I think it looks hot!

anarchy[sear]

iTrader: (1)

looks good man the only reason why i wanted blue so it stands out.

jmkiang

iTrader: (5)

^ Yeah well, sometimes its better to not stand out

jmkiang

I need some wheels locks that match my "titanium chrome" Muteki SR48s.

Anyone know of any extended wheel locks??

Hey guys newb question here... are getting 'brand' lugs that important? Or are you guys just discussing the look of them? I mean does spending money on more expensive lugs have any functional advantages (other than keeping the wheel on)? I got a set of RJ lugs with my last set of rims, but now that I have some newer shoes should I buy new lugs?

jmkiang

iTrader: (5)

Some expensive lugs are lighter, some have better designs...

gatdammit, i usually change my lugs when i change wheels to make sure i have the right seat type. i think the stock acura rims and also ronjons are ball seat and pretty much most aftermarket are cone seat.

$35-$75 motegi/gorilla/mcguard lugs work just as well as $150 project kics but the kics are gonna have a nicer finish and are going to be lighter. i think the rotational weight u would save isn't worth it because you'd be better off getting some lightweight wheels instead.

what is the difference between the sr35 and sr48 from mutekI?

jmkiang

iTrader: (5)

Length.

I think the SR35s are 35mm long and the SR48s are 48mm long.

Maddizm

iTrader: (5)

^ wasupdog, thanks for the info... I may just pick up some Muteki's then. 48, look really long though. 12x1.5 is what I'm looking for right?

eh? spec

I'm going to order a set of Muteki black lugs for my Enkei GTC01's

eh? spec

51.00 + 12.00 shipping USPS to Canada, best deal I found anywhere from Ebay.

Old thread I know but I want your opinion guys, YES YOU!

NBP TL with gunmetal A-specs - what color lugs would you go with??

I was thinking something blueish...since the NBP has a little bit of dark blue in it. Anyways all opinions welcome and appreciated!

john_wrap

if you have aftermarket wheels then your spec's are okay but if you're sporting OE's then they are ball seat - not conical seat. sorry if someone already pointed this out...i didn't have time to read the whole thread.

ssmtl2nv

iTrader: (2)

nice, I got the same lugs. Have them on my type s wheels for over a year now, and it matches 100%

john_wrap

i can't say for sure but i'd imagine the type-s wheels also are ball seat. if this is the case you have the wrong lugs on them (i.e. the lugs aren't seating properly). you might wanna check this out. might take awhile but eventually the lugs could loosen up.

obviously if your type-s wheels are conical seat...keep rockin' the same lugs.

Will these Muteki lugs fit on the stock 5 spoke rims?

^^do not put aftermarket tuner lugs on stock wheels.......

Ive read through this thread (and done some searching) and it seems my question is still unanswered

Will my stock lugs work with a-spec wheels? (even if they do, is something else better that someone could suggest, but not $150)

Are gorilla locks a lug nut as well, or to they go over the lug nut?

http://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Automo...5076652&sr=8-2 ...they look smaller than the lugs, so it will look weird, or is that expected?

If I'm envisioning this properly (and am prolly not), i'd have 3 oem lugs, 1 oem lug/lock, and 1 gorilla lock on each wheel....do i have that right?

Thanks!!

Jamal

why should i not do this?
And can I?
