How to spot replica Project Kics Lug Nuts
I purchased some Project Kics R40's today. But before I did that I did a bit of research and found out that SoSoRSX from clubrsx.com made a great thread on his comparison of Replica vs Genuine Lugs. Because I read his thread I happily & confidently bought some Project Kics off craigslist (come to find out he was a G35Driver.com member who didn't really even use em. Lucky me). I hope that this helps prevent someone from buying some fake expensive lugs. So here it is:

It's not so much the design stealing, but the fact that there counterfeit! Inferior all around, with probably no testing what so ever.

My biggest issue is the safety factor. I mean these lugs hold the things that keep you planted to the ground and not flying off a cliff. Kinda scary IMO

Was the price on Ebay way cheaper? Real ones cost a pretty penny.
