Default Lugs

i'm going with some new wheels, but also need new lugs now. is there a reasonable explaination why rays lugs are $100+ while the muteki's are $40???

Not sure what muteki is, but price equates partly to craftsmanship and also to name. for instand, i had some kyokugen lugs that fell apart and even came off by themselves on the fwy

i;ve had no problems when running the rays lugs.

i think ryan had bad experiences w/ the rays lugs no? the muteki are so soft they'll get stuck and get f'd up when u use the key after time...if u want to spend the money go w/ kics!

okay guess i'm going muteki. if i feel that they're getting soft i guess i can just buy another set and still be cheaper than the rays. so muteki + bull locks???
