Oh i just get the impression that they're not premium quality. No facts here, just a feeling.

...Of course that's my opinion, I could be wrong.

Got my wheels mounted today and this dumbass didnt measure the OEM lugs before hand and turns out they wont fit the new wheels.

so i have to get some new lugs from the shop that mounts the wheels.

anyone using these? Muteki Lugs. How reliable are they besides the chipping issue? (more worry about durability and reliability than the colors chipping since i wont be able to get another set until i come back from my trip)

these are the ones i got

I own the Muteki SR35 close ended ones. No chipping since day one cause i'm very careful when it comes to the wheels and lug. Durability wise, i've been using it for about 10k miles without any issues nor even the treads are damaged. They're very good for the amount offered for
