Where not to get ripped off for Muteki/Kyokugen Nuts
Hey guys I have been looking around for some 7 sided lug nuts for my FD.
basically every place is 38-45$ but then either don't ship to Canada or they charge like 30$ to ship...... wtf????
Can I get this price anywhere with some reasonable shipping I mean common these are "light weight" lug nuts. I mean a set of 20 7 sided nuts with the special part in either chrome black or red.
Someone out there must not be a ripper offer... at least I think.

You can find them on eBay for about $20-30 if you catch them quick. If you are going to complain about $55 lug nuts, you bought the wrong car.
Let's hope you never have to replace these:

No disrespect, I know this is one of the most costly sub supercar cars to own.
Just what I saw was like 5 kits for 199.99$ and three for 65$.
Was just hoping that a vendor would help out a little bit....
I admit for a thin peice of metal that is expensive.
I know these aren't autozone lugs. I wouldn't tie down Fikse's with 0.10c lugs...

Don't waste your money on Kyokugens if you take your wheels off more than once every couple years. Even while using a torque wrench the keys spread after being used and won't grip the lugs properly.
I switched to McGard splinedrives and haven't had a problem one.

Thanks for the advice!
Looked at their website and their explanation seems logical (on the key issues)
