Black lugs. Red car. Planning on getting IS350 BBKs painted black sometime down the road, so I went with black lugs to match Didn't want anything too loud and flashy

Subtlety is a good thing! I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to look into upgrading to the 350 brakes eventually too. Seeing my puny rotors and calipers makes me sad . Anyhow, congrats again on picking up an awesome set of wheels!

Red lugs are not flashy




Personally I think its a nice and subtle touch on a red car... And I think either Black or Red BBKs would look nice

Yup, Invidia is louder. Thats the reason I picked up the megans ... I didn't want the car to become too loud.

DigitalDon, Do you have an axelback? I see F-Sport in your sig, but I can't tell what F-Sport part(s) you have
