Default Muteki Blue or NeoChrome

Debating which lugnuts to go with. Wondering about opinions on an 07 DBZ..
Either going with the metallic blue lugnuts or the neochrome...
Both come in open and closed ended.

BTW, i don't recommend the muteki open ended. I have them, they work, but you can tell the quality of them aren't great. one of them even was even slightly deformed in the package.

So i saw an older post on this forum, someone used the Muteki SR35 in the rear and SR48 in the front to even the look out..however they only come sold in sets of 20..there anywhere to get these sets of 10 and 10 to mix them up? And if not..which should i go with. SR35 mm or SR48 mm lol

Thumbs up

To protect the lugs nuts and the lug holes on the rim put electrical tape on both the inside AND outside of the key and socket you use for your wheels. My Rays are in great shape after about 10 removals each.

Oh yeah, I think the NEW blue Rays lug nuts actual come close to matching DB, unlike the old blue color. I might swap out out for those. Just a thought.

These are starting to chip, but you can't tell unless you get super close.

The Caliber 24s? I heard those were real bad about chipping.

OP what wheels are you running? I have to use spline lugs/something with a key or else the lug wrench will own my rims.
