Got the titan ones on mine, didn't stay black for long. Wheels off/on just a couple of times and they look a mess.

I've got black Muteki ones; they rusted immediately. Don't buy any titanium types, I had them on from Japan, and they strip really easily. You pay for what you get!

i would have thought the muteki ones would be the best of the aftermarket ones

That's what I expected, having been told to get steel over alloy. They're still doing their job though.

If you are running aftermarket wheels then standard wheel nuts might not have the clearance against the alloy to get a socket on to remove or put them on Tuner wheel nuts will be needed
