Someone might know better than I, but I think anything you paint the lugs with will wear off easily. You could pick up a set of lugs for about $60 at lugshack.com.

From my personal experience, I had gotten a cheap set of lugs the first time around and the paint came right off of them within a year. Save yourself some cash and do it right the first time.

can anybody reommend something? tks

how about getting some black macguard lugs. They are awesome and self lock to prevent your lugs from loosening during driving. They would look nice with gunmetal

sticop · 05-01-2008, 01:59 PM

macguards are the way to go (same brand as the "subaru" wheel locks")

I got muteki lugs from oakos. The finish is junk you could probably scratch it off with your fingernails.

ill be getting macguards when the finish on the muteki's gets too be ugly

that looks sweet, the blue lugs that is....anyone know where i can get nice blue lugs? or am i better off getting nice lugs and having them anodized?

5zigen make some really nice anodized lugs, don't get rays lugs they suck and are too fat.
mcgard spline drives are also the way to go.

Rays FTW

2nd on the McGard spline two peice, they won't scatch up your wheels as you torque down the lug nuts

Does macguard make blue lugs? I know they have the lugs with the blue caps, but I can't seem to find completely blue ones. I don't know if I trust aluminum lugs so I'm looking for blue steel ones... Might have to get some macguards custom powder coated I guess.

I couldnt find mcgards that were only blue. So I went with the blue caps. You cant tell unless you are up close.

That looks good! That's the look I'm going for once my wheels get powdercoated.
