Lugs are bling. Nothing wrong with that but no one is gaining any performance from a set of aftermarket lugs.

Many aftermarket wheels really work best with extended lugs. I can't imagine trying to install some non-extended lugs in some of the wheels I've owned (the Meister posted was not an example of this).

Quick question - does anyone here know the seat on the OEM lugs? For the life of me, I can't recall whether it's conical or ball seat...

Many aftermarket lugs have an integrated lock that looks similar to the lugs. Not sure who you were referring to but I know mine do

Project kicks two peace openface lugs 27mm in neo chrome.

New break rotors have been put on since the pick. No more rust!

They should look like this (except these are the NeoChro)

It is very subtle. With my Rays one of the lugs is slightly larger and has a special groove in it per each wheel. Only the key will work with it.

I want some Project Kics neo chromes. I think they will go well with phantom blue 8 + all black oz ultraleggeras

So pick some up they make the neo chromes in many different flavors, sizes and types. I use the two piece ones but they are not cheap.

I think a gun metal/dark chrome lug on black rimes would look better then neo chrome.

What color lug nuts do you guys think would look good with these wheels on a Titatium Gray?
