Yeah i'm really not sure which way to go.

The car is red, has a polished SS style bar, silver RPF1's with the blue-ish valve stems.

What I really want is a quality aluminium silver/hyper silver, short closed-end lug nut (60deg taper).
These don't really exist from what i've seen, except for some brand "kyokugen" or something.
Best bet at this stage is probably going to be Mcgard splinedrives I think.

Muteki make a few different styles, short and long, several colours.
Light, looks good, no hype, decent price.

They arrived today and I fitted them. Just as well I didn't wait any longer, as the el-cheapo chrome plated steel internal-hex socket style lug nuts which were on the car, had not only started to corrode, but one of the wheel nuts on the front had a crack which ran about 3/4 way down the length of the wheel nut....

Luckily managed to get it off with vice grips. The new lug nuts are not only MUCH lighter, they look fantastic, and i've noticed a slight improvement in how the car feels/drives.
Best $70 spent yet.
