I really want to get some red spline lug nuts

Mazda CX-5 GT
To go with my Soul Red 2017. But after reading reviews on Amazon (same lug nuts available on eBay), it looks like whether they're made of aluminum or steel, the anodized color easily scratches/chips, even when tightening/loosening with hand tools. Is this just how it is with these colored lug nuts?
 
I don't have that issue. I have autoexe lug nuts from japan. First off dont get steel lugs. Torque to spec (approx 85ft lb) and you shouldn't have issues. Don't let a shop put an impact gun putting out 300-500ft lb on them like most people do.
 
I have a set, from nlmotoring and they have lost there "redness". They look like burgundy now.
