Muteki seem well made, light, strong, they don't strip after you take them on/off once or twice like Kyokugens do.

i saw some guys selling Acura lug nuts on eBay, do you think that 2004 Aucra TL lug nuts will fit on Civic Alloy Wheels?


for Tuner nuts, u recommended: open ended or close ended.

I'm not sure about the TL lugs..they look a little big though.

Personally, I like open ended but it doesn't really matter.

Ummm, all honda wheels use the same nuts. They're all ball ended. The hubcap nuts go into the Si Wheels, you need to just pull the plastic ring off the nut if it comes out with it.

so hubcap nuts are oky on Alloy wheels right?.maybe next time when i rotate my tires, i'll take them off..... i really want make sure that lug nuts are properly secure on studs......

so Civic lug nuts sizes is: 25mm, 30mm or the 35mm? which one better fit on Si rims.

also do you think if i invest on Muteki open ended lug nuts around $40 a set, do you think it worth my money? are they striping very easily

Ok, you don't seem to understand this. EVERY Honda wheel uses the exact same ball nose on the nut. There are 2 kinds. The ones for exposed lugnuts and the ones that are shorter so you can put a hub cover over them. Everything from the Insight to the NSX comes with the exact same nut. All Honda wheels use ball nose lugnuts regardless of whether they are steelies or forged aluminum. You do not need new lugnuts, the design of the Si wheel makes the nut stick out a hair because the center depresses in. The only lugnuts I know of that fit and aren't made by Honda are made by Spoon, and they're $7 each, and you need 16 of them.
