There are pros and cons of lug nuts.

We typically use the Muteki SR48's - affordable, available in various colors, and extremely durable.
They are made out of 50BV30 steel, which is heavier then aluminum but can take a beating for years to come, and threads will hold up.

Kics R40 is another great choice for lug nuts, which is also steel construction.

Um, I see there are 2 kinds of project kics r40

So the first one is aluminum and 2nd one is steel?

I like the SR48 also, i prefer steel to aluminum as well its not like you are saving that much weight.

I am in the same boat looking for lugs. The main thing I have read is steel over aluminum to help avoid stripping threads (not a huge issue if careful, but still a pain to worry about IMO). McGards are generally considered very good from various forums I have found in my search. But I didn't know the Muteki sr48s were steel. I was looking at those but drifted off since I thought they were aluminum, so if you want color I would think that's your best bet.

I'm using Muteki sr48s on ARP studs and I'm very happy with them. They look nice, thread and seat well and cover the entire extended ARP stud. I haven't put too much use on them yet, but I'll report back if my experience changes. The only issue with them is the very tight clearance between the lugs and my aftermarket wheels, but they do barely fit.

I have been thinking about Work RS-R Lug Nuts - Red any one running them?

Osiris · 04-05-2013, 02:10 AM

Anyone know if Muteki lugs will work with the stock wheels? I need to spend some extra money on a purchase on FT86speedfactory and can't seem to find anything that I'd need. Lugs are about the only thing I can think of that I'd want.

What have you got on your car? Maybe we can help you think of something to buy instead of lug nuts for stock rims

I'd probably get some engine oil, filters, or a drop in filter if he doesn't have one.

I'd probably get a turbo kit or a supercharger kit if he doesn't have one.

Not exactly the type of money that he would spend on a set of lug nuts....

Every little bit helps.
