Default Forged lug nuts....

I Just picked up a set of VR CE28Ns....wanted to know what lug nuts everyone is using. I want something that is forged and so far in my search, it seems like Blox and Skunks are the best "bang for the buck" options out there. Any suggestions or comments?

I just use plain old stock lug nuts, or ones I buy at Autozone, and I've never had a problem, even with extensive track use.

I keep hearing about the danger when using stock lug nuts with aftermarket wheels.....apparently, they will not seat properly because the OEM ones are round ended while aftermarket ones are tapered.

No, I actually meant OEM stock lug nuts. I agree with the caution that Petah mentions. However, all my wheels are Honda/Acura wheels, not aftermarket wheels.
