bla bla bla. Cheap anything sucks. Stop spreading flat out lies. I've had a set of Rays duraluminum lugs on my Yaris for 8 years with zero problems from abusive jackasses that use guns on them. You get what you pay for.

Except on Subaru's you actually could, since they are the same type of lug nut aftermarket wheels use.

Well last I checked GReddy was a reputable company and I never once used an impact on them. Guess what? They broke. Maybe my set was bad. I don't know. That was my experience and that's what I'm going to tell people.
