Do they come with a key? I suspect that people will be jacking these, so make sure before you drive off that you still have your lug nuts on!

They just released the shorter R26 version of the Neochros

For those who don't have deep lug holes



As far as the Neochro R40s go, the sets we have on our cars haven't chipped or stripped yet

Just gotta put them on and remove them properly

I could use 10 shorts and 10 longs so they'll look equal on the car, can they be bought like that?

Huh? Equal? That doesn't make sense....

No, they are sold in sets of 16 lug nuts + 4 locks.

I have to say it, cause it's the name's been wronged so many times...

it's "Kics Project," not "Project Kics."

That feels better now. BTW, it's funny now how most people are up for spending so much on lug nuts. I remember only a couple months ago where others were like "I'm not spending over $5 on lugs."

I HATE THEM. I had always hand tightened mine. I took of my drivers side front wheel to work on my turbo kit and went to put them back on and they had stripped 2 wheel studs. I got it towed to nissan and the studs replaced and they took off all the other lug nuts and found 2 other studs stripped. Out of 20, 8 of the actual lug nuts were stripped. In my opinion they are a horrible rip off. All in all with cost of the lug nuts and getting new studs, they cost me around 500 dollars.

Sorry let me speculate, I'm running GT7's and the lugs in the front stick out further than the rears, so the long lugs would really stick out and the rears would be flush, so I figured the shorts up front would be flush as well. Antway thought I'd give it a shot.

I know exactly what you are saying. I have the same problem, I have extended RAYS lugs and the rears stick out much more than the front due to the concavity but I dont particularly hate it, actually kind of it. But to answer your question, no, they do not sell the lugs mixed and matched.
