I've been using Muteki lug nuts from Evasive motorsports for over a year. Make sure you put a dab of antiseize if they are the open ended nuts so they don't seize up on you.

Make sure to get the tapered lug nuts, not the OEM cone style!

STOCK LUGS + AFTERMARKET WHEELS = NONO

I have some rotas and have spline drive lugs on there. No problems. Any after market cone seat lugs will work. Just preference. I do recomend getting locks cause people are haters in this world. But what ever you do, dont use your stock lugs to put them on.

Depending on which rotas he has maybe i know the stock lugs work fine and seat fine with the slipstreams.

LOL, I had Gorillas on my Slips and have them for my race wheels. I'm wanting a set of Buddy Club lightweight lug nuts though. A set of Volk lug nuts costs as much as or more than 1 Rota. You'll have to worry about people jacking your lug nuts before they want your wheels.

Stock lug nuts should not be used with Rotas, regardless of which model wheel it is. They are designed to be used with tapered or "conical" seat lug nuts. Doesn't really matter which ones you use, as long as they fit and they are of the proper design.

What's wrong with Gorilla's? I had a set on my TE-37's and they were fine to me. Never had a problem for 2 years. They were at the shop so I used them instead of dropping a mint on ******* JDM lugnuts. Oh well....
