Open end, closed end, extended length? Any more specific criteria or are you open to any suggestion? My suggestion for good affordable lug nuts would be the Muteki or McGard brands.

I have used gorillas and I have Rays now. In all honesty, I like my gorillas better. Rays are aluminum which (I didn't know that before hand)...I just don't like. But, they're baller so fanboys sweat me cuz of'em. I don't like Mutegi. I stripped a pair back in 02. Ain't fooled with'em since.

Gorilla and McGard are good suggestions. Muteki's coating chips off easily IMO.

Muteki coating is ***. Kics or Rays are the most "rad"

Muteki is made by Mackin so one would assume they're quality. They are a lower price point, but that doesn't mean they're crap. I just installed a set with my track wheels and didn't notice any scuffs or scratches on the finish after install. I'll see how they hold up after a few removals/installs.

My red mutekis looked like trash after about 2-3 installs so I sold them for cheap. My kics r40 coating looks brand new after 10+ installs. Only issue with those is rust inside the damn open ends.

Red lugs in general will fade over time, best to just stick to black or silver lugs which will be resistant to color fade

Mackin is a distrbutor not a manufacturer

how were they trying to get them off??, air impact?

i have always found that using an old fashioned lug nut wrench is the best way to go with stubborn lugs, .......

ballance yourself and then bounce up and down on it.......

or is it the actual tire that is stuck on??? like the lugs are out and you can't get the rims off?
