Default durable lug nuts

Just got some 17x9 SBC rpf1 and currently have project kics neo chrome r40 lugs. Looking for something a little more subtle, maybe black.

I have extended studs and am looking for lugs that won't look terrible after I take the wheels off 5 times.

I have seen some terrible looking rays lugs that fade and chip quickly. Will the J's chromly long lugs be durable since they aren't aluminum?

There was a brand of lugs I saw that they took an impact gun to and didn't make a mark, but I don't remember the brand.

The sliver mutekis seem to hold up pretty well.

mutekis are mostly 1008 steel, which is a basic carbon steel. Should be fine as well though...might be a better choice for the extended lugs.

McGard splindrive.
top quality.
good price.
don't scratch the wheel as their seat is doesn't move when you turn the lug nut.
they also slim so, again, this prevents wheel scratch.
