Extended lugnut colors!

Hey guys, I plan on ordering extended lugs today, but I cant seem to decide what color I want. I want something that will pop out, something eye catching! I was thinking purple? I want something that would flow, and go nicely with the wheels I have right now, because I'm probably going to stick with the same wheels for a good while, even if I do get a different set, it'll still probably be silver. But yeah what color would you go with? From what these guys offer: Bronze, Red, Polished, Blue, Green, Gold, Purple, and Black.

They're reasonably cheap as well. Linked for anyone who's interested in extended lugs!

My Current Setup. (Don't mind the height! Megan EZ's coming in next week!)

I love purple lugs so +1 for purple! But just make sure that the lugs you buy are made for OEM wheels. Because most lug nuts are shaped for after market wheels. Also, if you get a low quality lug nut, the paint will strip and fade easy so just keep that in mind. Even the expensive ass red volk lug nuts are known to fade to pink

What wheels do you have. The ones in your link appear to be cone shape.

sorry for going off topic, but doesn't those rims poke out a lot in the front? I have a set in my garage and when I put them on for fun they fit flush with the rear but poked out a lot in the front....I always wondered if it would have been fixed with a drop though...

Closed end if you're concerned about corrosion on the studs. Open end if you're running extended studs for whatever reason, or tracking the car, or don't care about corrosion.

1st Gen G35 and 350Z OEM rims are all conical seat. 2nd Gen G35 and G37 are shank.
