Colored lugnuts
Tuesday, August 03, 2010 1:06 PM
I love the look of my car, but the black and white is getting kinda old to me. I can't afford to paint the thing, so i am trying to figure out other ways to add color.

How do you guys think a set of red spline drives would look with my car. keep in mind, the wheels are machined and gloss black, and the center cap does have a bit of red in it. You can kinda see what i mean in my sig. other wise here is a pic or two

the wheel/tire combo with the wilwoods are tits, IMO

awesome car overall, I wouldnt even bother with the red splines, if I were you. Unless you have a little more red going on, the black and white by itself is classy as hell.

Hmmmm, maybe these

I have them in titanium, but there is nothing wrong with a little color. Spice it up a bit, if you don't like it, do something different. It's no fun playing it safe.



Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

I like the idea transporter, but i want something closed. i hate seeing the end of studs.




Re: Colored lugnuts

Are you using longer studs? The lugs are long enough you can't see down into them, you can't see the studs unless you break out the flashlight. They actually stick out of my Z rims a little bit, which I was unsure of at first, but I actually like it.



Jay Van is running those Neo Chrome lugs right now, he has a thread floating around called "Sortaflush"

My vote would be neo-chro or black. A "color" wouldn't look bad, but it'd be tricky without the calipers matching them.

the cheap sets lose there color pretty quickly and just look like crap after a while. your better off spending the money and having the color last. or just leaving them be.
