junk. I used them. the Muteki SR48 are better quality. I run the extended black ones with locks and no problems. The visions lasted about a year.

Gorilla and McGard also make black steel lug nuts that will last you forever. I have black McGard Splinedrives for all 3 of my cars.

Thanks for the replies. Those were my main concerns. The black finish wearing out and being too soft. The visions say they're forged but it sound like they used cheap aluminum.

I've heard good things about the black chrome. DO they sell them as a set of 20 instead of 16?

Alright, now I'm thinking Mcgard 65557BK is the way to go. Anyone know where's the cheapest to get these bad boys?
