Default Lug Nuts

I am looking for a locking set of blue tuner lugs. I want them to be closed end and to be a deeper blue color like this.



The Rays, Works, and Alex lugs look to be lighter then I want. It looks like Muteki has a darker shade, but they are kinda cheesy and isn't their key universal? The Spoon's look to be the darker shade, but they aren't locking (are they)?

I am guessing I won't be able to find a set that fits my want. If not does anyone have any input on whether I should get McGard or Gorillas? I'm leaning towards the McGard spline drives, but welcome any input. Thanks for the help.

Those lugs are some I found on eBay, can't find the auction anymore though.

edit: Here is the link.

Does anyone know if these Gorilla's are keyed or are they generic?

Gorilla spline drives use a generic spline drive key.
If it were me, I'd go with a McGard blue set. I think they have a pretty nice warranty against corrosion too.

You know, I remember now ordering a set of blue lugs for a guy I sold a set of wheels to last year. They were american racing wheels, so they were a McGard set, and they were ALL blue, not just capped. However, the blue was scratching right off of them when the spline drive tool was used. Not a very good quality piece IMO.
