the lugs are 7 sided. you cannot take them off with a regular socket.

sure they can...but with the reputation of the kyokugen keys...their key might strip before they take the rims

those "tuner lugs" dont do anything for you...my neibor lost his key for his, we just pounded a little smaller size bit on there and got it off with a impact wrench, they are not worth the money IMO, if a thief wants your wheels they WILL find a way to get them.

the key gets rounded out when you torque the lugs on to tight.

where can I buy kyokugen?

I got mine from revolution motorsports in a group buy about a year and half ago at groupbuycenter


I also almost ordered it from www.tribalpacific.com under Auto Salon / JDM / lugnuts. They are on sale now.
