Default Formula lug nuts?

Anyone have any experiences with these Godsnow (I know, stupid name) formula lug nuts that are all over ebay? I like the way they look and don't have money to spend $300 on Volk ones. Should they be ok to use?

Here's the ones I'm interested in:

I am sure they will work fine just don't expect them to last as long as the volk ones. Also make sure you have some antiseaze or something on them because if that key breaks off in the lug you are screwed. Personally I would just go with some steel muteki's but that's just me. Those do look nice though.

I have steel lugs already that work just fine...simple silver/polished ones. I was just looking for something to spruce up the wheel area that didn't cost a ton. If I get these, I'll be sure to get some anti-seize. I wanted something orange to match and highlight my brakes...and these "formula" ones look purdy.

They do look nice. Post a review when you get them. I would be interested to hear how they are and some actual pictures.

Will do. They're probably not the strongest aluminum. Bad for them potentially stripping. Good if they do and I need to hammer a socket onto them to get them off. Ha.
I may end up with some Muteki or other brand name orange ones but those don't look nearly as nice.

it would be such pain in the ass to take off the wheel. you would have to unscrew all the caps and then unbolt the lug nut they do look good though

Go Muteki Tuner lug nuts if price is an issue. Good quality and inexpensive to replace.
