Default Ti Lugs

They look just like Muteki's Neo lugs except for a few minor differences.

I talked to the seller, he said they are pretty much exactly the same. Also, that they are from the same manufacturer (he said seibon.. ?? i didnt know they were the same co.)

Anyway, anybody have any more info on "Ti" lug nuts

Have these failed on you before? What exactly makes them garbage? So muteki is garbage as well?

they aren't Ti.. they are just regular lug nuts with some fancy paint on them.. once they are mounted, the finish begins to chip.. but if you hardly ever remove the lug nuts, i guess they are ok. Atleast the Kics Project Neo Chrono's finish does not chip

Your wheel paint/coat will chip before the Neo-Chros do

I know they are not titanium. "Ti" is the BRAND of these lugs.

I just want to know how these compare to MUTEKI. Obviously, these can't compare to Kics.

Here are some actual Muteki lugs:



Again, I'm trying to compare these to MUTEKI. The seller says they are the same thing and from the same manufacturer. I just need to confirm that his story is legit.

Thanks.

That is a yellow/rainbow mix zinc plating on them. Yes it will wear/scratch off over time.

Thanks.

I spoke to the seller again and asked him to be a bit more clearer. He told me again that Muteki and TI are both made from the same manufacture in Taiwan. However, TI is branded by Seibon. I tried googling this nothing came up in my searches.

I wouldn't mind getting them if I can confirm if they are from the same manufacture because the Muteki Neo's do not chip and fade. (as I've read from many different forums)
