M12 x 1.5mm is the correct size. I believe these are the same on ebay.

not sure why you feel this way. ive pretty much tried all lugs out there including steel and duraluminum.

gorillas tends to rust easily due to inferior coating.

no issue with muteki. ive used both open and closed lugs. the ones i used were black steel ones. in fact i use black open steel muteki's on my 370Z. no issue.

if you're using duraluminum and impact gun or subpar torque wrench, you might have a problem with stripping. you didnt identify the problem so cant really help you. GL to you and hope you find a solution for your problems.

The paint has faded after two months of use on my black extended lugs. That is very weak paint.

I use the Gorilla locks (the 16 pack) on my OEM wheels, had them on for atleast 3 yrs. Thru all the snow, and salted streets and rain they've been thru they still shine like new.
