Lug nut color?

What color lug nuts should I get? During the Christmas break I'm going to plastidip my wheels black, and would like add some color in, I'm leaning towards blue or gold, should I get extended lugs or regular? Or should I just leave the lug nuts regular on black?

Here's a picture of my setup

If they're stock wheels, keep the lug nuts regular. Aftermarket wheels, then go ahead with whatever tuner lug nuts you want.

If you do go colored make sure they are the right mating surface for the wheel .. stock take sperical seats. Most after market lugs are conical.

If you are dipping stock wheels remember you need round/radius seat nuts. They are hard to find. No cones, no acorns, etc, etc.

Thats sort of like saying "stock take sperical seats. Most after market lugs are conical."

Sure, but most aftermarket nuts I see refer to them as radius seat. Easier to google.

You can get a set on ebay. Easiest place I ever saw to get them.

I would leave the wheels alone and put that money towards something else like the A-Spec kit.

Yes, it is recommended if you're staying with OEM wheels.
