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...

how ricer do you want to be?

more colors = more ricer

you could try taking a red sharpie to it.

 

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.

 

I thinkit's great for Chritsmas. Otherwise noway in hell.

You can always paint the lugs blue.

 

Please no! No no no!
Unless you want people singing the star spangled banner when they're looking at your wheels.

 

yeah, Twinx. Upon futher inspection, I'm gonna have to shoot this idea down.

Actually, where's Kane??? We need to blow this one up.

 

Well I couldn't decide because I could not visualize it...so I decided to put them on...cept its dark outside...so I do not really have any opinion either way...

I'll take a pic in the AM and post it for the final jury verdict...

I haz a SS btw...

Kane has been MIA for a while...dunno whats up...

 

post pics in the mornin'. Hopefully I"m done drinking by then and can advise further on this matter...

 

Immediate opinion disqualification due to consumption of a liquid...

Coyote Ugly regulations still apply here...

 

The Jedi Council has overriden your "regulations". Drink more I must, sober in the morning I will be.

 

is that valve stem only? or the caps as well in blue?

may have to remove the stems and paint black if it comes blue once i get my wheels then...

 

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!!

 

Kane is missing in action...good action that is...where is he really?? I was wondering the same.

 

YOU did post...in the hot guys thread...But yeah show us the finished product.

 

...damning evidence revealed!!!

...courtroom llama drama!!

...hot scribe aktion!!

...now with 125% more muthafawkin badassness!!!

Coming to a thread near YOU!!!!1111!!!!!11!!two8!!!!!

 

For your judgment...

 

What's up with the blue cap? Paint your calipers red and it's good to go...

 

IMO, just get a center cap. I know they are pricey, but wheel looks strange without it.

 

You don't have a center cap...

It doesn't look finished...like you know...something missing...

 

Sorry Twink...me no like.
You need center cap, and you either gotta be blue or red....not both.

 

Maybe he likes colors... : You know the multi color thingy...

 

Yea...me no likey either...center caps have not been put on yet cause I'm still having to take stuff on and off...

Guess the verdict is in...it IS a faux pas....

Now to either get covers for the stems or get black muteki's....

Set of red muteki's for sale! Gently used! Haaaa...

 

No they look nice just not the blue that's all. I'm going to do mine too one day soon...not in the winter.

BTW ther are blue one's also. If you like blue just buy the blue ones...

 

Is that a 17" or 18" wheel?

 

Funny thing...I originally ordered the blue ones...the vendor changed the color due to backorder...

Just got an email back from them which states I could exchange them for black but would have to pay shipping and the package had to remain sealed...oops
