They are a pinkish color, so I painted mine over with a red anodized spray and they look near perfect red. I also sprayed the valve stems.

I removed the pic because I wanted to find a better one. My lip was not touching but it was around .5" or less for clearance. My driveway prevents me from going any lower.

^ yea they lose color over time. They start off red than they'll fade to pink. Which is why I went with project kics like Sifu but in gunmetal ( sorry no pics). They are said to be the bestt lug nuts on the market. Don't know if its true cause haven't put them on yet lol

silly question, but other than to accent aftermarket rims, there are really no benefits to the different lugs right? Just a standard set with a lock would suffice?

some aftermarket rims have less clearance with the stock nuts, also certain brands weigh less

I know they're really light (as I had a set), but how much of a difference does it actually make? Does it even add up to being a pound lighter?

He said he didn't have any good pics yet, so I'll steal credit for now Black Ray's dura-nuts.

I was fortunate enough to get in on a group buy with some rx7club guys.
I like them. Rotary-X8 the Autoexe hex nuts are very small with key, forsure would fit your rims.

Thanks for the compliments, next summer I will be riding on some axis shine/volk gr2 and the cheapo falken rims are going on my Santa-fe.
