Wheel Fashion Faux Pas? Muteki Reds + RP-F1 w/ Blue Stem
Got Enkei RP-F1's...the Muteki lug nuts I originally ordered were out of stock and so I was shipped a set of dark red lug nuts.
Since the RP-F1 has blue valve stems...is it a fashion faux pas to use red lug nuts?
Heh...I lack colour coordination...

what color is the car? VR?
if so, I'd worry about the lugs clashing with the color of the valve stem AND the car.

Valve stem and caps are in blue...and its rather nice too...
Heh...but thats a nice color red*...
Shinks came up with the brilliant idea of getting stem covers to solve the problem...
Jury is still out on if it would constitute a "faux pas" as I'm going to post a pic with them on so we can get some concrete evidence in the court room.
*I have my reservations that the color will last after a few heat cycles on the track...some parts of the color appeared almost like it flaked off...really does not bother me much as I'm after the weight savings primarily...however minuscule it may be...just cause I can damn it...stop stressing me yo!!
