Which Lug Nuts

Im looking to buy some lug nuts for my wheel set up.. Im going with RPF1's in the SBC finish. I do not plan on tracking the car or dd just driving it here and there. Need some help with sizing and finishes. Any recommendations or advice based on experiences would really help..


-brands
(which to go for/which to stay away from)
-colors
(any fading?)

I have a set of black muteki open end lugs I like. I had the red ones but they chipped really easily. If you can put them on once, and leave them on they'd be fine. But mine were taken on and off numerous times.

just fyi if you get a fancy looking set you don't want to mess up, companies make plastic lined and covered impact sockets so that they don't mess up the lugs or the wheels. I've never personally used them but I've heard they're all the rave. like these -
