Hey guys, I just bought a set of Works VS XX in gunmetal with a polished lip, I need suggestions on a good set of lug nuts to match, I've always used OEM lug nuts for my wheels simply because I've always upgraded to OEM wheels from another vehicle on both of my cars, so if anyone has any suggestions for a set of quality lug nuts that would be great, post a picture and or color suggestion as well if you can.

I've always liked Mcgard, especially since they are fully stainless steel AND carry a lifetime warranty.

I'm also partial to Gorilla. If you really want to match your wheels, check these out:

yeah we do bro, I was gonna get some BBS LM's but I couldn't find any 17s that would clear my brembos, I had Jack at RB motoring confirm clearance on the brembos for mine, they are staggered, 17x 8s plus 32 and 17x9 plus 41. I'll post pics when I get them

this is what they basically look like, just without that much lip in the back of course

anyone use the Ray's lug nuts, I heard they have a unique shape that makes it more difficult to steal the wheels. Also, what size lug nuts would I need? Sorry for the newb questions guys lol

1. Those wheels are SICK! love the color
2. M12 x 1.5 Thread size

i got these in black, come with a wheel lock tool to take them off, but if somebody wants your wheels, they can always take them off.

Ive had a few sets of McGard on my cars. I have a chrome set and a black set. theyre about 3 yrs old and the Chrome still looks new and the black is still black. I dont know about the lifetime warranty tho. I dont recall them advertising a lifetime warranty.

i've heard of Muteki nuts becoming rounded.

dont forget to buy wheel locks cuz anyone with a socket wrench and jack can steal your wheels.

if you're getting colored lugnuts, then get the Works ones...they dont fade like the rays ones.

I think I want to go with red because my calipers are red, although I may be getting them pc'd soon, anyone know where i can get green lug nuts, specifically something similar to tein green
