I would only use the R40 if I had longer studs otherwise they make it too easy to steal your wheels.

R40 "Black Chrome"

TIRE_SMOKE96 - I'm sorry if I made you look bad but if you don't know the lugs, its composition, and you're spreading false info I have the right of correcting that. I was also trying to be nice in stating that your lug strips easily and the fact that I used to have ADR and the quality was crap and I have seen many cracked sets. Not to get any further in this argument you can take my word for what it's worth - or not. It's up to you but I still stand by the fact that the Kics Project lugs can't be broken by your method.

DHCrocks - I understand what the OP is trying to say but considering the material used to make the r40 lugs I doubt he can use that method. Now I did say other methods could work, just not the one he specifically said
What are you talking about Alvin? I still don't think you understand what he's saying. There is no breaking involved, you thread a bolt onto the end of the open ended lug, and then use the bolt to loosen the lug. The fact that the lug is steel actually makes it easier to do this because you can torque down the bolt more, making it less likely to strip, making it easier to back out the lug.

Call BS on the open ended theft theory. Some kind of reverse threading needs to be involved.

Why would a reverse threading need to be involved? It basically comes down to which is torqued more, the lug, or the bolt/nut combo. As you turn the bolt, either the lug will loosen first or the bolt/nut will. I would show someone in person, but I'll probably F up their lugs in the process, but I'm sure I could get it to work. Any volunteers?
