Aftermarket lug nuts

I used these:
Project Kicks R40 Ironic

they are "two-piece" in that the part that contacts the wheel mounting surface is can rotated freely with the hex-shaped body which you rotate to tighten. It saves some scratching when mounting wheels.

Multiple color options available.

The finish has held up multiple uses over several years.

Z1 calls them "impact gun friendly" although I suspect hand tighten/untighten will be infinitely safer.

Is steel better than aluminum? At first I thought it was the wheel studs but after checking them, they are not bent. I think my lug nuts got stripped from using an impact gun many times. Should have told the mechanics. The GR5 titanium ones look nice but those project kics look beautiful, especially in black chrome. But they are 44m not 50m.

I would treat aluminum lug nuts as a "consumable" item.
