Wondering what your guys opinions are!!! I'm getting new wheels, hyper silver face and polished lip. Should I go with a silver lug nut or black?? The car is Obsidian.

Thanks!

ive always used McGard Splinedrive lugs. I actually just got a new set in the mail yesterday for my new wheels. With locks it will run you about $100 bucks but ive never had a problem with them. FYI stay away from any type of open ended lugs.

I use anodized black McGard spline drive lugs for my 360 Forged wheels. Thin wall socket to prevent scratching too




Extremely high quality, good stuff

Can anyone suggest some lugs for me? I need black, closed end but I want the same style for the front anf back, just the front needs to be longer. I want the end of the lug close the the face of the wheels ( If that makes any sense) I have a set on now and you can see the rear ones fine, but the fronts are to deep in the hub.

Thanks

I'm also in the market for some new lugs, I currently have iforged aero 19"s and I'm not sure if its the different offsets, but my front lugs are actually sunk in while the back ones are exposed?
