Post 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

because their lugs are for racing and race cars dont keep using the same lugs... they are ment mostly to be disposable

but some cheap jdm nerds like to think otherwise

and i hope they never do f'up on you... rays = $

but this is what usually happens since they are Aluminum (kyokugens are Cold forged Chrome Vanadium) when they heat up they tend to tighten more and basicly seize almost on the stud so when you take them off the threads start to get stressed and eventually they will strip and you'll cross thread them on thinking there still cool... or the key breaks

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?
edgar,

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.
