What lug nuts to use with Volk GT-N?

I'll finally be putting on my volk GT-Ns tommorow and i need to know what kind of lug nuts to use on them so i dont scratch the paint on them.

What brand or style should i go with to prevent rusting and will fitt the best. I was looking at the gorilla anodized lug nuts. Any opinions?

I say Volk lug nuts. I have a set of black long Volk lug nuts and love the look and weight of them. Can't wait to get my volks GT-V.

Chris, do you have any picks of the rims or what size and offset did you get?

dude, i know the volks are superior to all the others but i am not about to pay $130 for lug nuts. Really i just want something that isn't going to rust and have the same look as the volk lug nuts

here is a pick of the same exact rims w/ the same width. Mine are 18x8 up front and 18x10 in the rear w/ a 40mm offsett


They look pretty good in motion too

nah i just think of it as not pi$$ing away $130. I mean you pay like $230 total for valve stem and lugnuts. I would rather buy a decent brand and save $150. Even though the volk stuff is aluminum, you are really paying for the name for stuff that is pretty trivial.

Yup, I agree. My GF had Volk lugs on her 'Teg when she bought it. They're damn light, but I went and sold them 'cuz I was able to make $100 bux on something that even I wouldn't care about, better yet her! Kyokugen lugs are like half the price and look sweet, too!

i heard kyokyugens strip easy. i got long zenki aluminum lugs i think they were $80 for a set of 20...no stripping, but certain colors fade over time but rays lugs also fade anyway
