Are these lock lug nuts good enough? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

J95 · 05-31-2020, 11:11 AM

I ordered new wheels (57cr gram lights), and I wonder If the original Rays lock nuts worth the price (80€), otherwise I will be getting the budget option from Japan Racing, which are 35€

I would think that they are just steel nuts, so the "cheap" ones should behave correctly...But what do you think, am I taking any risk? is it reliable?

This is the product:

Just get some Gorilla, McGard, or Muteki lug nuts and you will be fine. Make sure you buy the M12x1.25 size

Well these cost twice or even more (in Europe, maybe less in US) than the Rays set, so I would go for the Rays in that case:

But I have the feeling that these are the same quality as the Japan racing ones, but just cost twice because of the brand

Oh interesting, yes if the Rays are cheaper go for those.

As long as they are steel, you’ll be fine. Dont get aluminum!
