Default Which Lug Nuts Do I Go With?

So i picked me up a set of Kosei Wheels and am having a tough time deciding on what lug nuts i should go with? I'm looking for RED lug nuts and I cant decide if its worth it to spend all the cash on expensive lug nuts but i also dont want any cheap-o's and i'd like to stay away from open end. Anybody have any suggestions?

If you get the Muteki's, be sure to protect your lugs when removing them (electrical tape). My brother got some and first time he took them off, the red started coming off the lugs.

Muteki lug nuts strip the studs. That's what I heard from my buddy that had them on his car. I'd go with project kic's or volks. Beware of volks though they fade. My friend had a set of red volks extended lugs on his car and over a 6 month period they faded.

Just get some mutekis... I think rocking project kics or volk lugs would draw the wrong kind of attention to kosei wheels...

hasegawa with bull locks from evasive are a good alternative of good quality steel and cheap price and comes in black.

X2, besides those red lugs will fade to pink very quickly! Fitment and strength are more important.

Mackins and Mutekis are the same thing on those type of lugs (even come in the same packaging), Mackin also copies Project Kics Racing lugs for their other style.

Mackin doesn't make red lugs.

Muteki lugs aren't great, I have a set on my car right now and they keep backing out slowly, I have to tighten them every few days (they are the correct size btw).

Check out Spoon, they make red lugs too I think. People are right though, they'll fade in 6 months unless you put some wheel wax on them.
