Volk Formula Lugs rant
If you have to take off your wheel more than twice the caps for each lug suck, First of all the key they give you is made of plastic and pretty much gets destroyed after just a couple times using it for all wheels.
I think I paid 350.00 for these lug nuts, my car is at the shop right now getting work done. My Rims needed to come off and 4 of the caps on these things where stuck and would not come off. After trying a bigger alan key, and an hour of messing with it 2 gave but we had to drill 2 out.
I talked to forged performance to see about getting some new black caps for my set and they cost 11.00 a piece just for the cap and then air shipping from Japan.
Needless to say I can see all of them wearing out eventually and do not wish to go down the road of replacing 11.00 caps over and over again.
If anyone has some black caps they want to sell let me know, I think I may just switch to standard Rays lugs.
Under normal usage (2 times off and on) and the key is destroyed , 3-4 caps destroyed or non usable you would think they would replace under warranty.
buyer beware this crap.

Because they are open ended water can collect and just sit in there and rust out the stud and lug. Then it seizes up and mess up the stud or lug or both. So I found if you just smear some axle grease or something on the inside or all over the stud before you put them on it will help protect it from rusting out.
