Default Lugs for Vossen CV3s ????

Hey guys, gonna mount my new CV3s soon and and wondering a good 50-80 set of lugs to buy. There are a ton out there and I know nothing about them. Ive heard Muteki are good but there are several different types. Looking for a black set. Not sure to go open ended or closed ended with the CV3s. Any input would be awesome. Thanks

I think closed end lugs look better, I am not a fan of opened end lugs because I don't want the wheels studs to be shown and also you might see them got rusted due to water trap in there.

since you already have the opened end lugs, you can put them on your new wheels to see if you like them? if it not look good on your new wheels so it not too late to look for the closed end lugs

I have Rays on mine and they look good. You need extended in the front or you wont even be able to see the lugs.

No, you can use short or extended lugs. I would suggest staying away from ebay because there are a lot of fake lugs on there.

Purchase them from our vendors if you can so you know your getting the real deal

I recommend extended for the fronts if you want to actually see the lugs. The hub is deep on the front CV3s, needs longer lugs to look right.
