NRG Lug nuts
Anyone using these, or similar? They look great and are the style Im after. I swap wheels so often with my drag pack and just doing random things that I finally stripped out a lug and stud this time. These come in the open ended 12x1.50RH stlye that I would need. They are the super light weight forged 7075 aluminum and claim to hold up to allot of abuse. Im looking for a top of the line setup I can use for many, many years and not worry.
I have the 2.5" ARP wheel studs on the way (using spacers and probably the reason I stripped it). That was an easy decision. But for the lug nuts themselves.. Im down to NRG, Buddyclub, and specialty brands like that. They all look sharp. But the NEOchrome NRG's with the blue burnt look, look amazing. Look up NRG innovations website and check out the 700 or 800 series to see what Im talking about.
Any thoughts? Recommendations of other brands? Price is not a concern when it comes to this. I need a strong, good looking, and long lasting setup.

Alright, I pulled the trigger on a set of NRG 800 series lug nuts and 2.5" ARP studs. Shouldnt have any issues with stripping any time soon. And they look bad a$$ in Neochrome

Will do. They are expensive. But more than the look and weight, Im just hoping for a practical set of nuts that hold up to constantly being taken on and off sever times a month. Im not worried about the ARP studs, but we will see if the nuts really have that quality. They better! $130.00 nuts! Thats a kick in my nuts!

Here's what I have on the way. Im still deciding on what wheels to go with. But these will be on my OEM Magnesium wheels and my CCW classics drag pack for now.
