18"...was going to get 17's later when I needed to run R-compound tires in a more competitive situation. The 17's are cheaper in the long term as the tires are WAY less expensive and the smaller size is lighter and gives you a nice little boost in acceleration due to a ratio change. It just looks funny when your are not on a track to see an 8 with 17's.

It should all be black. Or you can put your TPMS sensors in the wheels and have that be silver, then get black lugs.

And you'd be a chump if you threw down for alloy lugs to save a few grams and then put in a center cap.

Just flat black the axle nut and bearing dust caps and forget the wheel centers.

 

Already have a new set on the way...black...you wanna set of "gently used" lugs? haa

Oh...and I fully intend on taking them off during track things...just extra unneeded shrapnel if you ask me...I just want to keep crap outta there during daily driving duty.

Never really had much success with paint that lasts...more then likely I'm doing it wrong...

 

I have the same wheels, the same lug nuts (in black) and I did just paint my center axle nut and bearing dust caps primer grey. Matches the wheel quite nicely. Says "IDC about how I look I'm wider and lighter than you "

 

for everyones info, the mutegi lug nuts weigh the same as the expensive ray's lightweight lug nuts. 1 pound for all 20 lug nuts COMBINED

Several track days and autocrosses wheels on/off many times and taken into the dealership with no problems.

 

I personally don't go around looking at people's lug nuts and stems

 

Which is why I got the open ended ones...I figure why tease?

If they want to look at my nuts...I'll give them the whole show...

Unfortunately...at the moment...I am still reeling from my earlier tragic nut mistake...

 

the whole show!

 

Anyone know the ID? They had some dust caps but nothing that said mazda...too lazy to look it up or measure...I was gona grab the one for "ford" but I'm not in a big rush or anything...

Picked up 1200F flat black engine block paint last night..."with ceramic"...haa

Anyone ever use this stuff?

 

HEY!!! Whats wrong with multicolored NuTs??

Well coloured nuts are ok...its the blue valve stem + red lug nuts that is the problem...

If the stem and cap were black or some other neutral colour then we would have no issue...

But because they are both coloured, and the colours conflict...in this specific situation...its a faux pas...

 

At least it's not as bad a faux pas as these:

 

wow yeah...if you wear those...you need to be shot...

 

Who killed the yetty?

 

Poor little Ewok never stood a chance.
