Lug recommendations for CV1s

Hey,

What would you recommend for matte black vossen CV1s?

Not sure what would look better, as I've never purchased aftermarket tuner lugs before.

There are so many options...

short, long, $100 lugs $400 lugs.. different colour options...locks

I'm thinking Rays Duralumin Short in Black would be decent, any thoughts?

Should I go Long version or maybe or different colour lug type like chrome/silver?

For the CV-1s, I would say open-ended long lug nuts would look best.

I was thinking something more along the lines of Project Kics or Muteki lug nuts.

aesthetically, open ended lug-nuts look better. Just my opinion.

Except when your studs get rusty from rain water and car washes.. LOL

I'm using Kics NeoChrome R40 lugs (extended & open ended) just put some grease on your studs beforehand to avoid rust.

cool thanks for the advice, i'm hoping to save money so if the price vs looks difference is much more in favor for the price i'll probably go the cheaper option, obviously functionality/protection is the top priority.

I would go with the Project Kics R26. I used them on my old civic, they do the job, especially the locking one. I had my car jacked in the air overnight, someone tried to steal my CCW's but couldnt get the locking nuts off. I had the neochrome, they didnt fade or scratch at all
