Lug Nut question

After doing extensive searching on google and on this site, I am still not comfortable with choosing a lug/lock nut to replace my stupid OEM ones. I guess I really only need to replace the lock nuts, since they are beginning to strip. Anyway can anyone give me an opinion on these:

http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=Rays-Lugnut-GM&Category_Code=L1


I've noticed many sites state that we should not use "tuner lugs" on OEM/factory wheels, but I've read in this forum that as long as we have 12mmx1.5 size acorn (60deg taper) nuts our wheels should do fine with them.

So I've come down to this: are the lugs listed on the site usable? Thanks.

Andys auto sport has the mutieka lug nuts. the open 12x1.5 should be the same as factory. I am replacing with the standard nut open end to prevent the need for the tire tool adaptor. Piece of crap broke first time i used it, cannot be used with tire tool just a impact. good thing i was home, this can leave you stranded big time. someone at mazda should be slapped for this tool.
