they're all basically the same thing. if you were goin to pick from those or any other expensive lug nuts i'd go with the rays just because it has the 7 sided lug nut for extra security.

first off, i'm sure you are buying these for aftermarket wheels as they should not be used with OEM wheels no matter what anyone tells you.
Second, if you do buy aluminum lugs, i suggest ALWAYS use a torque wrench to the specified torque specifications of the new lugs. (not doing so is the main reason people strip out aluminum lugs and call them crap)
It has also been suggested to use some anti-seize on the lug studs before you put the lugs on.

Very good point Z28. OEM rims have an acorn style lug seat whereas most aftermarket rims and lugs have a tapered style lug seat. Using aftermarket lugs on an OEM rim will cause problems over time.

anyways, I actually dont think honda's have an actual acorn style either. Its more of a ball type seat. While at SEMA I talked to 3 seperate lug manufacturers to see if they made an aluminum or any other type of aftermarket lug to fit honda wheels and they said no and had no plans to make one. I was dissapointed. The best response I got was from the guys at Gorilla. They actually seemed somewhat interested when I mentioned how many honda guys run factory wheels

I was actually told that it's not a good idea to use anti-seize on the lug studs/nuts. When I did... opps! There goes the rim. And yes they were on there tight enough as I'm always self-conscious about that kind of stuff.

I got Gorilla Black Nuts on my 57C from JC Whitney.
They're cheaper than Rays.
