Where did get the plain gun metal lugs at, thinking those will look good on my stock 08 TL S wheels... but for your question the before looks nicer, makes the wheels look better.

Before! There's something with the red lugs that add contrast to the rim.

I think the main reason everyone, including me as I previously stated, liked the before is because of the center caps.

If you want the clean look, then I would prefer the after look. The red lug nuts look good too though because it matches the taillights.

Yea thats true, if you dont have the center caps, itll seem like you're running rotas or something lol.
