Default Muteki SR48 Neo Chrome VS Rays

Im looking to purchase some new lug nuts. I want a decent set, yet nothing too expensive. yes, i know you get what you pay for but i just wanted a couple opinions. I'm looking at those muteki's and possibly some rays. The muteki's run about 100 and the rays about 160. I really didnt wanna go over a 100 for a set but i am considering it. Does anyone have any input, good or bad, on either of these lug nuts? Or, does anyone have any other suggestions on a good set?

thanks in advance,
brad

Avoid Rays.

My set lasted 6 months, before the threads inside of the nuts started separating from the nuts themselves. Only ever used a torque wrench, never an impact. Granted, my wheels are changed twice monthly (before and after an auto-x), but lug nuts shouldn't start having issues that soon even with that frequent removal.

Loving my current set of McGard spline drives though.

No personal experience with Muteki.

I have Gorillas and while the chrome plating is chipping, mechanically theyre still great after 4 years.

thanks for all your input guys. i'm gunna research the mcgards. they seem to also be in my budget. i've looked at the gorillas before and they were so cheap that i was actually afraid of them.
