Can we even use the Blox Ti lugs on our cars? I remember them being the wrong pitch when I was lug shopping last year...

edit:
Oh and my vote goes for McGard spline drives in gold (or really any finish)

What are you Volk GTC guys using? The inverted lugs are a little boring for my taste and fit tight as FAWK making it seem useless to even try anything else.

Truth. I had these in gold in preparation for bronze wheels...thought that'd be an interesting color combo. Ended up getting formula silver so switched them for black chrome...they look quite good as well.

I have the same ones as SuperBlack350z and I don't think I'll get two piece lugs or open ended lugs again. One of the center pieces came out while driving and it's been a pain in the butt to get a replacement. While the center piece has been missing that lug has basically been open and has rusted from rain, washing etc. I think a good set of closed-ended lugs is the best bet. I will say, the swivel base the prevents your wheels from getting scratched is cool though.
