Muteki Lug Nuts

Saw them in several shops. We dont know them here in Germany.
Some meanings about the quality here?
I am uncertain because they are really cheap compared to greddy, rays or work

I have Muteki lug nuts and they work fine. The only thing you have to be careful about is you CAN NOT EVER use an Impact wrench with them due to the spline drive. They will just strip...you must use a regular torque wrench to loosen the nuts AND tighten the nuts (which you should be doing anyways.) The tuning shop I go to @Kaizen Tuning, suggested I go with the Muteki nuts and they would never recommend a bad product.

Also be aware that there have been a rash of fake Muteki lug nuts floating around. There was a post somewhere that showed how to spot the differences in packaging.

Ok but I think a serious vendor like vividracing or frssport won't deal with fakes.
Thanks for your opinions!

Muteki lugs are definitely quality. I would recommend them over any aluminum lug nuts.

We are an authorized distributor for Muteki Lug nuts, and I can assure you they are high quality.
Mutekis are made out of chrome vanadium, which makes them extremely durable.

Prices are cheap compared to aluminum lug nuts, but the aluminum lug nuts have a limited usage before they stretch.

We've had the same set of Muteki lug nuts on one of our race cars for two years.
