So im in the market for some lug nuts and from what i have been reading project kics is the best of the best. The r26 model retails at $200, cheapest on ebay is $160 and cheapest i could find on the internet was around 145 until i found:

is that lug nut going to fit on FD wheels? like any wheels?

 

I'd love to hear what makes a "best of the best" lug nut. It's a fricking lug nut!

 

Man, it's the bling factor. Shows that you got cash to burn.

 

Ghaaay...

 

I can think of lots of ways to better spend $130, but if it floats your boat...

 

There are so many things wrong with this. Those are not "racing" lug nuts. They are "show" lug nuts.

After spending 4 years actually racing an RX7 I discovered that the "best" lug nuts cost me about $2.50 each. They were open ended and made of really soft aluminum. Swapping wheels at the track as often as I did I grew to appreciate a lug nut that could be cut off with a hammer and chisel in the times that one got cross threaded (and they also didn't damage the studs). And the cost made it possible for me to keep a bag of spare ones. (how much would it cost you to get a spare one of those?)

Don't want scratches on the mounting surface? Hit the mounting surface on the wheel and lug nut with ~200 grit sandpaper.

Want accurate torque? Cover the wheel studs and mounting surface with anti-seize compound or graphite. And use a real torque wrench!

Want real racing lug nuts? Don't buy something that has "cool as hell" in the product description.

 

Yeah...the "cool as hell" part...is laughable.

Maybe I should start my own lug nut racing company...the markups seem pretty damn good!
