I was using those for a while and I agree that they look good on the car. My complaint with them is that they are very hard to pull off unless you grease them in which case they come off too easily and you find the occasional one missing (or rather, don't find it). After a few on-off cycles they tend to split, at which point they just fall off. anyway. they are a good solution to ugly lugs, but they do come with a downside.

I'd like to find a reasonably priced set in stainless or titanium. I'd settle for satin-finish chrome.

I had spline drive set of those on previous car. I sprayed a thin rubber coating in the socket that would fit.
didn't work out too well. Kind of a hassle to keep clean.
I'd like to see a Ti color Krylon spray I could just hit the OEM lugs with.

Saw a set of titanium bolts on E-bay last week for $225 that's why I recommended Raynor look into making some.
