colored stock looking lug nuts? bronze?

**bmxfuel007** · 6-13-08, 4:19

anyone got a place for stock looking lug nuts that are colored? painted my wheels bronze and i'm looking for lug nuts, but all I can find are the open ended ones. anyone got suggestions? if i paint my lug nuts, they the paint is gonna come off so fast after I put them back on.... i know that's not an option

i think the closest u can get to stock looking are the acorns, i haven't really seen any colored stock-type lug nuts

Any pics of the painted wheels on the car? Thinking about that option myself and also wondered about colored lugnuts. Any tips to pass along on the painting process?

The only anodized lugs I can find are red/blue/gun metal/black/clear. No bronze.

**bmxfuel007** · 6-15-08, 16:15

I'll post some pics soon. Painted my FD's. Hopefully gonna get them wrapped in rubber soon.

Anyone got links for recommended lug nuts I should get? Anything to make sure the threads match? will black lug nuts look good with bronze? security nuts or just regular nuts for FDs... do people even steal these?

I painted mine yellow. The paint stays on fine. The only problem is
when you tighten or remove them, some of the paint comes off on
the lug wrench. Haven't solved that.

**bmxfuel007** · 6-22-08, 4:09

anyway, been too lazy to take pictures of wheels, but will put the final clear coats on them tomorrow. for the lugs, what are the thread specs for the lug nuts? or are they all universal?

Can't tell if these are more bronze or gold from the pic. Closest I've seen.

anyone got these and can vouch that they'll work fine for our cars? also, the open endedness of the lug nuts don't look too well, unless someone has experienced otherwise

oh yeah, here are my FDs, although not very good pictures as I took them at night in the garage with a flash. Might get some better pictures with them in the sun later

Nice job! Is that the Duplicolor wheel paint or another brand?

**max626** · 6-23-08, 18:37

Blk lugs will look good and give it a nice offset

**bmxfuel007** · 6-23-08, 23:59

Yeah, duplicolor. I got the wheels wrapped with some toyo proxes 4's today. Yeah, I know I need to lower it, but one step at a time :P

those look awesome, even with regular colored lugs
