save a little more for some zenkis... they're really nice and durable...
mutekis are weak, i had a few of them fly out because you can't use an air gun... and those are bitches to get out.

just keep saving. your only like $80 away from getting a chance to choose from rays, work, buddy club, skunk2, etc....instead of limiting yourself to just mutekis.

Seriously, save up for Rays lug nuts. It is a little over double your budget but well worth it. Don't half *** it. If you had Rota's, then get the Muteki's.

So what exactly is the deal with mutekis, it says that you get a special wrench that must be used in order to take the wheels on and off?

Muteki's don't fade. They just look generic from the get go. I have had several Muteki's in short and long, black and silver and polished. They shape looks funky but the color never fades.

Zenki's in red or blue fade like garbage but if you pick a non anodized one, they are okay.

I think almost all aftermarket lugs have special keys.
