Not a fan, sorry. They just don't work with those wheels.
Bought some new lugs, what do you think?
After seeing Smurfenstein's post and the red lugs he has, I was inspired. I wanted to do SOMETHING to my wheels to make them look better but I didn't want to dip them. Too much black. So I decided black lugs would be a good addition and give it that extra something to make them wheels stand out and improve appearance.
I didn't want to spend $100 on a set from BWR so I went looking around. I ended up finding a set from Godspeed. These are forged aluminum and they are 50mm long.

And here is how they look on "Other Barry".

Honestly, I'm still on the fence on if they look the way I wanted. I found a set of black steel lugs at pep-boys for the same price and but not sure if they would look any better (stock lugs, but black).
What do you guys think? I drove it 30 miles and took it through a car wash with a tire cleaner and so far nothing bad happened.

check this out!!!
If you want to add color to stock rims to give them a more sporty look, i can show you how i did it to mine....
Thanks for the input guys. I like honesty.
My goal wasn't to add "color" as in flashy red/gold/green/whatever. I meant add color as in take away from the chrome. I'm going with black and chrome. I don't have anything else red on my car so red would look odd. Was thinking of paining the calipers, in which case red lugs might match but it's still in decide mode.
I had a look at jakkaroo's lugs and they look like mine except for not black. He has the center caps blacked out and they look nice so I think i'm going to try to black mine out and see if it works.
Driving around last night and today I'm liking these more and more. I realize not everyone cares for them, but I think I like that. Makes me different and no one will copy me
Gonna keep em on for a while. The lugs have the appearance of being super long, but they are actually flush with the surface of the wheels.
What are your thoughts on them being aluminum? They are lightweight especially compared to the stock steelies. Doubt it would have any noticeable affect on rotational mass though.

Blacked out the bowties. Def helps the look.
