So if these lugs fit what color should i get? The rims are painted black with a blue lip. I want either black or blue, what do you think?
The link to the lugs isn't working, but as long as they're tuner lugs, you shouldn't have a problem. and dude, the color is all you, go with whatever you want, its your ride! Personally, I think blue might be tacky, but with a blue lip, they might look cool.

Whats the difference between tuner lugs and other lugs? The ones in the link are open ended lugs with the tapered end. Thanks for the help.
Tuner lugs are smaller in diameter to fit in the generally smaller lug holes on aftermarket rims. The ones you linked to will be fine and I'd go with black unless the blue is extremely close to your wheel lip color.
I think i might go with the tuner lugs because they have the closed end. But the ones in the link will fit if i decide to go that route?
Regular lugs have the closed end, tuner lugs are an open end and require a "tuner key" to take them off.
Check out my build thread!
Forgot to ask one thing. These are stock alloy rims should i really be using tuner lugs? Is it gonna affect anything?
good point. with a set of stock rims, you actually shouldn't need tuner lugs. I forgot about that. they should work with your factory lugs then, just give it a shot and see if they fit. but you can run tuner lugs too if you want, it just comes down to personal preference. you can also buy tuner lugs from pep boys or just about any auto parts store, thats where I got mine.

You don't need tuner lugs, as stated above, but they usually look a million times better than stock, thus making them worth the money.

For the love of god, do not go with these. My first lugs were just like those, but in chrome, and they were engulfed in rust within a month and looked horrible compared to acorn style.

These are the style I have but I'd order these from Summit....

....I've had the ones above in chrome for a year now with my wheels off over half a dozen times and they still shine. Plus, they were delivered two days after I payed, you can't beat Summit for fast shipping. I highly recommend Gorilla products as a cheaper and quality alternative to McGard.
yeah, thanks for all the help guys. I think im gonna go with the gorilla lugs. I'll try and post up some pics when i get the setup done. I really have no idea how to post pics though. lol
Thanks again
Chris
just upload your pics onto photobucket (best and easiest to use, just create an account) or another image hosting site and copy paste the [IMG] codes. easy as that. oh, and resize them too, uploading big pics can be a pain!
