Kyokugen Lug Nuts installed...
 

Well I was bored so decided to address a few details before the next big upgrade so I replaced the big heavy cheap lugs on the RX8 with some nice lightweight cold forged chromoly Kyokugen lugs...

These are closed end, they are caped with a nice polished aluminum cap to keep the water out and give a nice finished look while keeping the weight down to a minimum...

Some PICS...:)

Nice...You didn't get Lugs with the Hiro's?? I bet the black trust lugs would go good with those wheels.

Don't forget to torque them down by hand...:)

Those are sweet rims....I wish there wasn't a 3 month wait for the 18's. SSR's here I come.

Yes I got some with the hiros but they were big and heavy... Black is cool but I wanted to keep it clean...

A little off topic but what offsets are you running....I know you did staggered.

19 x 8.5 45mm (Front) 19 x 9.5 55mm (Rear) / 235/35-19 & 265/30-19 Tires F/R...

Which will fit our car?

M12 x 1.5

M12 x 1.25

Or does it depend on the wheel you have....

nice touch
you are totally car crazy like me

If you look at his package, (not that there's anything WRONG with that...) you can see he bought a 12mm x 1.5 set.....

S

Yes the lugs for the RX8 are 12 x 1.5, it is the only size that will fit...

very nice cortc
off subject what camera do you have ?

Kel Rx8: I have a Sony F828...

Where did you purchase these from? The only place I can find them is vividracing for 66 dollars..

Also.. what color did you get?

Edit

Yeah Edit.... I think he got the chrome but from where.. Hmmmmm

It has been a long day! :D

For some reason I thought you were asking the price of the rims. :o

I was dropped on my head as a baby.:p

They are pearl silver with a polished aluminum cap... I will look up where I bought them and post in the morning...

The package says "Heptagon nut" -- is that a typo or are they really 7-sided lug nuts? I can't quite tell from the pics. If so, maybe I'd be comfortable doing away with the security-key. Is it likely a wheel thief would be carrying around a 7 -sided lug wrench?
