Small problem...Volks.
i have these super thin walled allen wrench-driven lug nuts when i used to have Racing Sparco NS2 Vipers.
i end up breaking one of the wheel studs and had to hunt down these thin walled lugs. it was so difficult that i had to buy 'em straight from mackin (which uses 'em for some of the volks). horrible (and STUPID) experience...

Emil, DO NOT use the OEM lugnuts with Volk rims. You will damage the area around the holes and they will not hold the rims on your car properly. You must get aftermarket lugnuts as described by milkbubble.
Problem is,the walls of my OEM wrench,are too thick to fit between the lug,and the hole in the wheel,surrunding the lug;the holes around the lugs,are smaller on the Volk.
Wondering,if you guys are using a special,kind of small,light,and strong torque wrench for this job.
I did the job,with my ratchet,and a thin wall socket,but not very convenient.

Many thanks for bringing this to light. I could have been screwed if I ever got a flat.
Here are some pics of my wheels and the lug nuts I'm using, sorry the pics are crappy. Is this the proper set up??? Or should I buy those mugen lug nuts like I posted above?
