Default Lug Nuts for After-market wheels ... Any suggestion

I am looking to buy locking lug nuts(Bluish in color) for my S and want to stay under $100. It's seems i have choices like Muteki, Blox, NRG etc, but not sure how good or bad they are in-terms of durability, locking, color chipping etc. Looking for your suggestions and experience ...

I bought muteki for their price. They have been on and off the wheels 5 times so far. No sign of chipping and the lugs were only $40.

I just remembered which lugs I have on my BBS wheels. They're "Bull lock & nut" set, however they only come in chrome or black. No pretty colors.

Stop being cheap, get the Volk lugs:

I went and bought the Mugen #7 heptagon lug nuts and I am very pleased. They are 7 sided (duh) so they are more or less all locking lug nuts. However they are only available in black and are a bit more than your budget at $130 or so from jhpusa.com.

JHPUSA got back saying no Blue T1R lugnuts for me until end of this month. So i am asking for blue NRG locking lug nuts from their site that come in a set of 4.

Sucky. I keep telling Password to make matching lock nuts for their lugs but they just refuse I guess. I would love some good looking gold lugs for my blue wheels but I cannot find good ones that are lock nuts. Oh well.
