It really comes down to what you think looks better since the weight difference between the two is a non-factor.

EDIT: Regarding the ones you posted, I think those are too short and you run the risk of more easily damaging your wheels unless you can find
an adapter long enough to clear the lug openings on your aftermarket wheels. I would recommend these instead: MyNismo.com - NISMO Lug Nut
DUDE! i just read up on those lug nuts you sent, and they are 17mm HEX, which is exactly the size i need, i just thought they didn't make them for nissan cars. I am ordering these locks, Black Tops and have been struggling to find a lug nut that would fit. They need 17mm or 19mm, but 17 would be better. I am going to buy these tomorrow! You are the man!
