Question Choosing wheel lugs

Hi, So finally im getting new wheels, And they are Stance Sc5 matte black 20" 9F32+ 10R35+
Im looking for lugs for these wheels, I did some research but yet I cant figure out how to find out the suitable and right lugs for them. I've never bought aftermarket lugs before.
Any help or recommendation is appreciated. Ps. Im looking for red lugs to match the looks
Thanks

You'll need conical 60-degree (tuner) 12x1.25 lug nuts. I just went with some chrome Muteki (
these these
) lugs off of Amazon for $50 or so.

was wondering about this myself. are project kics (and other aluminum lugs) safe to be used? i have read about aluminum lugs splitting over time and that steel lugs are safer.

what do all the vossen/volk/other aftermarket wheel company guys use?

is it worth getting project kics for $300+ or better off using cheaper set like muteki for example? (from a functional viewpoint, not based on looks alone)

I personally wouldn't put aluminum lugs on, seems way too soft of a metal for that sort of application. Plus I feel like the weight savings that close to the rotational center of the wheel can't be that great for performance.

So I looked for steel lugs but I didnt find anything from a good brand and w/ the color I want
do you think that lugs from companies like rays and project kics wont be safe if made from aluminum? Would these large brands trust aluminum in their lugs if they are not safe?
what do you think i should go with?
Project Kics Leggdura
Work RS-R Lug Nuts - Red
Rays Engineering Lug Nuts (Extended) - Anodized Red
Project Kics R40 Lug Nuts w/ red caps

^these are the best I could find, I dont care about the price as long as its good lugs however all of them are made of aluminum, I'm really confused haha and I could use your advice

Reviving an old thread.. I have the same wheels, would these lugs be too long for the fronts though? I'm afraid they're going to stick out too far.

Nevermind it will fit perfectly.

It may have slight poke but that's what makes it look good and purpose for getting a colored set. I just purchased these for my wheels. I haven't installed yet but i'm looking forward to it
