Help: Need KYOKUGEN Lug key Stat!
Hay I need to borrow a Kyokugen lug key for my Suby.
For whatever reason I lost it and I have no idea where it is. Regardless I will give the lugs that i take off my car to the person of whom I can borrow the key from.
If you do not want the lugs then you can option out for a free dinner a chillies during a UCKK meet or hooters over in Pleasonton.
I can stop by your crib and use the key for like 30 mins while i undo my current lugs and apply the new ones. Please let me know via pm or phone.
My phone is 510 299-9269
Thanks,
Larry

but for a race car you want them to be light and expand and tighten up a bite just incase at your last tire change wasnt perfect
davon have you notice sometime they are hella hard to get off?

nope, ive only had them for about 2 months now. I think ive removed them about 5 times so far and always torque them to 80ft/lbs. They feel the same everytime i remove them.
