I don't think the lug nuts or your tire valve cap match the color of your car and are on the ricey side, i vote for titanium or match them better.

maybe custom make blue lexus center caps along with it.

Still got my stocks, don't know what to do with them. I wanted a change and wanted something for the car.

Yeah I was going to pick up some titanium lugs on Monday. Gonna get rid of these on Monday. That's what I thought.

Why did you had to wait 6 months for the wheels?

Looks good, the blue/bronze combo is very sporty... looks better than blue/gold for the F. Keep the blue lugs man, those are baller, and sets everything off. You need to keep it JDM.

Good question, I got the rear two like 5-6 months ago, but for some reason they left the two front rims in Japan. You ask why? Good question. HAHA.

What? Are you kidding? They totally look bronze on my monitor. You must have some serious brake dust action on them! I guess gunmetal looks decent, but bronze def. looks better. I guess you just have to keep them dirty.

Nice rims! I don't know how much feed back you will get with the center caps, from my experience they are super tight fit and the pics just look like you have not put them in properly.

I like the lugs too!

You need to calibrate your monitor!

yeah, believe me i was THIS close from getting them for my m3 as well. sexy wheels and the performance gain is noticeable. the fact that bmw use them on their m3 for track racing says a lot about them. under 20lbs for 19s, what else can you ask for
