Mine are doing okay even though they stripped their anodising when I first fitted them. I will be getting replacements though if they rust as I was promised they wouldn't due to the high nickel content of the steel used

Mines were bad when i took them off when i sold the car, wire brushed them to remove most of the rust and then sold them.

Wouldnt buy them again, complete rubbish imo, will get better ones next time even though these werent cheap!

Mine stripped the red anodising first time I fitted them, and whilst they haven't rusted on the outside they have started to go inside after the threaded section - total **** in my humble opinion and given the poor response I got from the seller, not the group buy organiser, when I tried to complain I wouldn't hold my breath for anything

Hi John,

I am sorry that you are not happy mate. I mentioned to James at the
beginning of the group buy that the coloured Muteki were not as hard coated
as the Black and Neo versions due to the way in which the colour is applied.
They won't go rusty though as they have a high content of chromium so are
resistant to decay.


Does this help?


Kind Regards,

Responded saying that it doesn't help stating that the quality was sub-standard and these were poor quality but never got any further responses.
