Lugs arrived and look nice. SUPER light.
Just waiting for the car to arrive. It will be here 9am Friday but having paint correction, tint, stinger stripe, polished, xpel, cquartz done so I had to push swapping tires back to the end of next week. I'll have photos of them on the car hopefully by next weekend.
CRAP I need a 12 pt 17mm socket.

I can vouch for them, bought a set for my black Forgeline Ga1Rs.
They are laughable light, perfect machining and have spun them several times and that coating is tuff, they still look brand new.
Going to get another set for new wheels that are in transit now.

No. I've been running them for a long time on my car with stock studs and no issues.

It doesn't look modded or anything, but it got rid of the chrome lug nuts which is what I wanted.
An extended black titanium lug nut like some Ray's Engineering makes would be cool but probably would end up being double the price.

I was seriously considering these with a 17mm spline drive deep socket with painters tape (because I can't find that socket with a non-marring cover). On another forum they made this comment. Is this a valid concern?
"For lugs you don't want a 12 point, lead [SIC, I presume he means "less"] contact area on lugs. Harder on the lugs "
Also any care and feeding differences with these nuts compared to steel? Still okay to use portable and air impact guns, etc? The studs are ARP and the wheels are Forgestar F14 (A356-T6 material).

I have several 12 point sockets to choose from, but the one that fit's the lug nut the tightest is a Kobalt brand from Lowe's.
I run them down with a 3/8 in. cordless impact but stop short of actually tightening the lug nut.
Then I finished of with the torque wrench. No marks on mine.
