Guys:

We sell tons of the Muteki, RAYS, WORK, WEDS, KICS etc. All the anodized color lug nuts chip and color fade away regardless of the brand.

Never use impact gun, always use torque wrench.

Aluminum lug nuts are lighter, but also softer. Ur studs are steel, so if not use carefully, the aluminum lug nuts will get destroy.

KICS made chromely steel lug nuts which was the R26, and R40 series. They are a bit heavier than the Aluminum version but because it's chromely steel, it's stronger as well.

If use properly, most of these lug nuts are safe. I had used every single brand for the past ten years, the most common problem is the color fading out and chipping off regardless of the brand.
