Im looking at getting a set of muteki sr35. They are a steel lug nut with a tuner style.

Whatever you buy, just make sure it's not aluminum.

Aluminum is a softer and not as strong as steel. I had aluminum lugs on my civic back in the day. One of mine got messed up about a month or so after purchase. It got stuck on the stud (it was never over tightened) and we ended up cutting it and the stud off. It also messed other studs that later on got replaced. So. Never again with aluminum lugs for me. It was just a bad experience.

Now these were not BLOX so I cant speak for the quality of them.

Yep. 12x1.25. You can buy them at any autoparts store. Ask for tuner lugs.

Make sure the seating on the lug is correct for your wheels also.

I saw some Mcgards for like 70 or 80 bucks but they look pretty sweet....especially the gold ones. And what does the "correct seating" mean??
