ppl get caught up in the entire "jdm" thing. Last time I checked, Mcgards were the strongest out there in the market (steel). That is the main reason why I purchased them. For your purposes, these are probably the best lugs yet (since you have to take your lugs on/off often).

+1...I had gotten a set of those "tuner" Aluminum lugs, and after a few autoX events (I change wheels at each event), the locking portion was rounded off and would get stuck in the socket...so I switched to McGards and they're held up perfectly!:

i appreciate the responses regarding the lug nut questions i had,
sounds like the mcguards are good stuff, now just gotta find out
if they fit my 5zigen fno1rc wheels or not, otherwise i was looking
at the lug nuts they make as an option too

Yea we carry Mcgard lugs and I love them. I own a set of the Ray's black lug nuts (ones pictured above in this thread) and I also own a set of Mcgard spline lugs. I now only run the Mcgards 
The finish on the Mcgard lugs is awesome and they are anodized so the color actually lasts, unlike my Ray's that started to chip after a few wheel changes. Also the Mcgard lugs have a washer on the bottom of the lug that stays still when torquing the lugs, this prevents any paint scratches and keeps your wheels looking brand new.
