Ladies and Genltebois,
Like the title says, I'm looking for the lightest set of conical lug nuts I can get in 12x1.5 (correct me if I'm wrong on the thread pitch for an Si) that come with a step up in terms of security. Currently on Gorrillas for my OEMs but I'm switching to a lightened set of wheels, and would like to continue shaving the unsprung weight specifically. A buddy of mine introduced me to Rays Duralumin lugs, and I was impressed with the weight, but I'm concerned that even the 7-sided ones would be too easy to remove. Since then, I've been on the hunt for a set that runs a balance of weight AND unique security.
I understand Project Kics/Muteki/Project Mu/Iconix are the usual move but (while I admit they have some neat security features) they're not really competitive in terms of weight. Most are steel alloy, rather than the A7075 which Rays are made of. The inverse is true with the titanium lugs I've found (Titan7, Muteki, Gorilla) which either lack security features, or are not even real Ti. One exception is Raceseng's line of titanium locking nuts which are true Ti, and have a fairly unique socket - but they're sold out, and Raceseng isn't responding to my emails regarding availability.
So... if you have the same requirements I do, and have managed to find a solution that satisfies them both, I'd love to hear what make/model did the job for you.
Stay safe, everyone!
