Default Lug Nuts. Do these look functional, durable

I need some new lug nuts, just bought a new car and I want to put my aftermarket wheels on but the car came with junk and trashed looking nuts so I want a new set.

Do these look durable? They appear to be the correct size and pitch and seat type of lug nut for an aftermarket wheel

Im more concerrned with durability than anything, I take my wheels off alot

They don't "look" like anything. There is no way to tell how durable something is from looking at it. They claim 7075 aluminum. How much "duarability" do you think you're going to get for $13.99 for a set of 20?

People love to go cheap on ANYTHING. I always suggest something like McGard, Muteki, and Gorilla.

X2 I prefer the McGard tough nuts (stainless steel) ~$1.50ea lug

FYI
Hondas use 12MMx1.5 threads those are 12MMx1.25 so they won't fit anyway!!

Just go to a tire store, tell them what car you have, tell them what rims you have and get some Gorilla tuner lug nuts.

Durable and "good priced" (horrible English, BTW) do not belong in the same sentence.
Durable and aluminum do not belong in the same sentence as well. (Mentioned because that is what the original posts links to)

McGard and Gorilla make high quality, durable, lug nuts.

People already answered your question.
