I don't recall stating any of this as fact... however, i think spline drives are ugly. Maybe that's why i don't like most lugs.

Got my wheels mounted today and this dumbass didnt measure the OEM lugs before hand and turns out they wont fit the new wheels.
so i have to get some new lugs from the shop that mounts the wheels. anyone using these? Muteki Lugs. How reliable are they besides the chipping issue? (more worry about durability and reliability than the colors chipping since i wont be able to get another set until i come back from my trip) these are the ones i got |

I've had my Muteki's since March - about 10k miles. No issues. Looks as good as the day I bought it. I do need an extra key just in case though.

^ That reminds me, if you pull your wheels off and/or re-torque regularly, you should stock up on those keyed sockets. At least with Muteki, that's the one problem I have had, is that the socket's wall will sometimes eventually tear/fail before you're done with the lugs it came with (from removals w/ impact wrench).
