I purchased some Rays 35mm a few days ago. This is what they look like

Image

Inside the nut is fully painted and the number that is engraved on the lock nut socket is also etched on each of the 4 lock nuts. From what I understand, all Rays lugs do not ship with the same lock nut setup.

Tuner imports carry greedy, wheel wizard has volk
There are a few persons who carry real muteki but you have to be careful as well
Or you can import yourself via skybox... Rallysportdirect carry a lot of genuine steel nuts
