you will have key problem with the Kyokugen if you use a impact gun.. I had both before and no problem as long as you use a torque ranch to put the lugs on..

agree with volk350z , bad things can happen when an impact gun is being used. I ve used the kyokugen on two sets of wheels now, cant beat the price and they are light and durable.
