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.

Did you check eBay? There are Muteki lug nuts all over the place there.

Wack prices? $45-55 is standard for Muteki lugs. This ain't Autozone lugs we are talking about.

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...

If you can get them at $45-55, that's about as good as you'll get without going to eBay.

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)
