Tuner Lugnuts for Rota RB wheels - Toyota Yaris Forums

SeriousBlack · 04-18-2011, 11:05 AM

My Rota RBs are finally going to be delivered this week (silver 16X7). Can anyone suggest the best size lugnut for this wheel? Also, any brands out there you've been happier with in terms of strength/appearance/security etc?

And thanks to everyone who voted in my poll for rim color. Democracy still works!

Lots of looks but no feedback.

I have M12 X 1.5 tuner lugs now. I was concerned they'd appear skinny for the bolt holes in that particular rim. Just wondering whether tuner lugs are available in different outside thickness.

That's all I'm asking

For the larger lugnuts like Rays it gets spendy but it looks great...

there are Project Kicks that are nice...also spendy but they seem pretty good

on Scionlife.com think there was a dude in Cali selling a set of black rays for cheap in their classifieds link is http://www.scionlife.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198066

There is also Muteki that hold up pretty good.

Aluminum nuts can get beat up pretty easy so you have to be sure to put on and take off by hand and torque properly...but they are strong.

I had a bad experiance with the tuner nuts that have the open middle that the key goes in instead of like a nut on out side...one stripped and it took me an hour to get the nut off ...will never use them again.

So far my Rays are doing pretty good,I cleaned them while they were off to change rims and they were faded compared to the 4 not used from the set.

Threads had some stretch and so there was bit of shaving of the threads and a bit of small shavings in two so I swapped for the new ones in the set just to be safe.

I agree, I would NOT recommend in the inside keyed type of lugs. I've had great success with the Muteki spline drive lugs I'm running now, but for some reason, I liked the Gorillas I had on my old NX2000 better. I think they were steel instead of Muteki's aluminum too.
