Close-up Pics of Lug Nuts

Does anyone have close-up pics of their lug nuts?

Especially like Kics R26 and Kics R40 (black chrome, neo chrono), Rays Extended (black, red, blue), 5Zigen (grey), chrome closed ended nuts

Are you looking for different pictures than those on the Texas Speed Werks web site? I've got the R26.

KICS R40's

I guess not all are terribly interested in this thread...but since I started it...might as well contribute to it. My new 'nuts' are growing on me First pic is mine (KICS R40 in black chrome)...2nd/3rd pics are manufacturers photos (1st in black chrome and 2nd in neo chromo).

I need a set of R40 as well. Where did you get it from? TSW seems to carry only R26.
Oh, do they have closed end one?
Thanks.

Option imports has a decent price. I think there is one more place I saw on the internet that might be cheaper. I overpaid for mine from someone off of EBay. Found an internet retailer that had them cheaper, but a day too late. If I find the site I'll post it here.

Also, TSW has recently placed an order for R40's in black chrome but not the neo chromo. They might have a good price on them...especially if you buy the studs together. Jeff at TSW just hasn't put them up on his website yet.

Thanks, man! I hear you on the theft risk. But, mine is usually parked in a private garage at home and work, so I'll just keep my fingers crossed. The one lock per wheel will have to suffice for some peace of mind. I guess kind of like a Club hehe.

Unfortunately, the US distributor for KICS (Mackin Industries) cannot get ahold of ANY R26 or R40's until later this year (September). From what we've been told, the JDM market has sucked up all available inventory and they're being serviced first (before the US market).

We'll have some R26's and R40's back in stock - but it won't be until later this year. Ugh!
