blue racing nuts

heyhey everybody, i drive a winning blue rx8, and was hoping to add some blue racing nuts to match the car, everywhere i've seen they sell for 100+ dollars for a set of 16 and 4 locks, which are kinda pricy in my opinion, was wondering if anybody knows where i can get either works or volk blue nuts for cheaper, thanks for all ur help guys =D cheers

You really aren't going to find them for any cheaper than that.

work or rays nuts are at least $100 if not more depending on where you get them

$100 is a great price for those nuts, if you don't want to spend that kind of money then I would probably not get a set of work or rays nuts.

take a look there at the mutekis if you don't want to spend more than $40

Volk lugs are forged and weigh next to nothing. Thats why they are expensive. My guess is the work lugs are the same but idk.

you can buy cheap lugs in colors but they arent going to be nearly the quality youd get with the other brands

wtc. you cant go racing/tracking if you have locks on your tires.

does that 120 for the rays include 20 lug nuts PLUS 4 locks? or 16+4? if so, thats kinda retarded as someone would need 2 sets to go racing.

the rays nuts are 16 & 4

yeah, ive only heard that it may be inconvenient to use locks because its not as fast to change as all non-locking but ive never heard of a rule saying you cant

If you are to the point where you are worried about how quick it is for your pit crew to change your tires, you're probably not buying off the rack parts, lugs or otherwise, and you wouldn't care about having to buy 2 sets if you were.

I know right. I've seen them for as low as 25 bucks at AutoZone.
