Default which LUG NUTS to buy? Muteki, Gorilla, or Hasegawa?

ok - so Ifinally found somespoons... ;-)
now I need to get some good lug nuts to go with them.

I was looking at some Muteki or Gorilla black closed-end 12x1.5 lugs.
Are the Muteki and Gorilla lugs the same?

I want something that looks like this:

is this what the Mutekis or Gorillas look like installed?

I was also checking out a set of Hasegawa lugs, and some Bull Locks from Evasive Motorsports.
does anyone have experience with them?

unfortunately, there do not seem to be any tuner shops local that carry this stuff so I can check them out for myself before I get them.
thanks for your help

Don't worry, you don't make enough Torque to be worrying about expensive lugnuts.

I have Mutekis and they're nice, I know they're some of the lightest you can buy. I don't know about the other ones but the Muteki's have a special key for some added protection.

Oh and FYI, some tracks and organizations won't let you race with closed ended lug nuts. Just something to consider if you ever plan on tracking it.
