I previously had Rays Duralumin lugs in black and I liked them. I wanted something different so that's why I ordered these Volk Formula lugs. I prefer these since they won't scratch your wheels like a standard lug will.

I'd probably go black or a chrome moly version. You also get to choose between regular and extended versions with Volk.

I have used the volk racing lug nuts. The volk racing lug nuts are light weight but when they get old it starts to look like they have been through hell. Currently, I'm using the Kics Racing Composite R40 titanium and love it. A bit pricey but worth it. A friend gave me a good price for em. You should check out the Kics.

I was looking at these too. The only thing I didn't like about the ones pictured above is that they are chrome on the outside. I think the darker ones would go better eith the car.

Small world...

Mainly its for looks depending on your wheels. Long ones will stick out too much depending on your wheels and you may not like that.

Also, if you have longer studs you would get long/extended lug nuts. Otherwise, short is the way to go.

Pretty much what ^^^^^ said. I used to have the Project Kic R40 long nuts and because they were open ended, I started getting rust in them from washing the car. I now have smalll red Work nuts and love them. Unless you are getting longer lugs, there is no need to get the longer nuts.

So I'm able to put extended lug nuts on my Nismo rims as long as theyre acorn seat? I'm a bit confused. Everyone says you can't use them on stock rims, some say you can, depending on seating, Nismo Rays arent technically "stock" rims correct? so Ican use extended lug nuts on them?

I have extended lug nuts on my NISMO and they're fine. Unless you have actual extended lugs, it's just for looks IMO.
