Kics Racing Gear lug nuts are made in Japan and are some of the most beautiful, tough, and feature-packed fasteners we sell. The R40 iConix product almost makes us think Kics were reading our minds because these lug nuts have just about everything we've ever asked for in a lug nut.
First off, like all lug nuts we sell these are of steel construction, but it's not just any steel. R40 iConix are forged from SCM435 ChroMoly alloy, which is strong and tough, but also light.
Next up, these lug nuts have an independent-spinning seat that sits against the wheel. This rotating seat allows the lug nut to tighten against the wheel without grinding into the paint finish, reducing the chance of chipping or peeling of the wheel finish near the lug nut seats.
Worried about using these with extended studs? These lug nuts are open-ended so you can run as long a wheel stud as you want. But wait, you also are concerned about what they look like if the studs are NOT long? We have you covered -- each fastener comes with a pre-installed (but removable) plastic cap that covers up the center of the lug nut. It also serves to keep out most moisture, grit, and debris.
For the finish, we stock these in a lovely "Neo Chrome" rainbow treatment that looks like flame-burned titanium. Note that we can't warranty the surface treatment against scratches or fading. Treat them with care and keep them out of the sun if you want the colored finish to stay bright and nice.
Finally, with a lug nut set this fancy, you might be worried about theft resistance. That has been anticipated as well: Each set comes with sixteen standard 17mm hex fasteners, plus four theft-resistant lock fasteners.
As with any custom wheel fastener, we recommend using HAND TOOLS ONLY to install and remove these. No impact tools! Torque to the normal tightness as specified by your car's owner's manual.
Complete Subaru-fitment kit includes the 20 lug nuts, tools for both hex and lock fasteners, plus a little center cap tool for removing or installing the center cap. If you were wondering, the larger tool uses a 21mm hex socket. The smaller tool is a 17mm hex so you can use the larger tool to loosen it -- clever!
Fits any Subaru car, and other cars with 12mm x 1.25 lug nut pitch, including Scion FR-S and Toyota GR86.
