Default Unhappy with Muteki Lug Nuts

I received my lug nuts today. Shipping was quick. I've noticed the box of the lug nuts were a little messy, like it's been tampered before. I figured maybe that's how it is. As I hold up the first lug, I noticed some little paint chipped on the open end, I figured what the heck. The more I inspect it closely one by one, the more paint chipped I see. What was worst was the last 10 lugs on the bottom part, lot's of paint chipped! I can go on with the top 10 lugs, but the botom 10 I just have to ask rant. So my question is, does any of you have this kind of problem? When it comes to buying parts, I always have bad luck with them, either they come defective, or not the right part.

The ones that I've ordered was the SR48 in color Green. These were from a reputable shop. This was my second sets of lug nuts from them.

The lugs are painted? I thought they were anodized.

most of the light weight durable lugs have a tendency to fade or chip. my two sets of rays have done that from regular wear and my mugens also

I have had my Rays lugs for a couple years, and they have wear on them. I mean honestly, they are just lugnuts. Shouldn't you be more worried about the functionality rather than the look?
