Lug nuts For Fuchs
Just bought a set of Fuchs wheels to replace my BBS wheels (they haven't arrived yet).
I'll need new lugs nuts to make them look right. Has anyone tried the one that are selling on Ebay? Set of 20 black aluminum for $55 Like these

I bought the chrome version on Ebay. They have yet to chip, though I would guess that if Porsche had made them the chrome would be less wavey. Great for the street in my opinion, though short of concours. The distributor told me that the chrome was more durable than their colored lugs. I'm not sure if "their" black ones are powder coated or anodized. I was not installing on black rims so went with the more durable finish.
I do use a soft socket with my Al lugs.

Al Reed sells lugs. I trust him completely...especially compared to somebody on eBay.

Some aftermarket lugs have some whimpy anodize.
