Red Lugs on a Red Speed

Anyone think these would look good on stock ms3 wheels? They might look pretty sweet but just want to see everyones opinions first. I may powdercoat the rims gunmetal in a few months is that makes any difference.

My only concern with adding colors to your wheels is that the reds won't match and it would look weird. If you could find lugs that match your paint color, it would look pretty cool!

I like the Muteki SR35 or SR48 better. The style you chose is nice. I used to have them. I just think they are a little too common.

That was my concern as well, matching the color. I painted my calipers with G2 and its a little brighter than the car but since its under the wheel its not as bad, but with the colored lugs right there with the calipers and then the car color, Im not sure. If they matched it would be sweet. What do you think? These seem to be the best red ones i found, try it?

If you have the $61.75 plus shipping to spend, why not try it!

Keep us updated and post pics!

The ones you like can be bought on Ebay for $52 shipped. Anodized lugs are never going to match your calipers exactly plus the lugs will fade big time if parked in direct sun for any length of time. Even the best like Rays fade. That's why I went with SR48 Titanium color. I didn't want pink lugnuts after 6 months

Regardless, he is still spending a little bit of money for an experiment. I know it's not like a month's worth of pay, but it's the cost of decent dinner with the wife.

Being a divorce I sometimes think that lavishing money on your car yields higher rewards than spending on your wife. Besides when you take your wife out to dinner depending on how it goes you might not get dessert. In that case buying jewelry for your wheels isn't such a bad idea..

I haven't gotten to that part in my life, I'm still considered a newly wed!

Thanks guys and while its not alot of money its still a good amount to just check the color. If they dont match i might be out of luck. Well i guess I will contemplate it and post pictures if i do end up getting them.
