I'm fairly new to the import stuff as I come from the exotics end of things...I like modifying cars, and know plenty about them, but I'm still learning the style of import stuff with concave wheels, tire stretch, and everything that creates that clean classy style.
So, having said that, I have a TL that I'm putting some 2 piece wheels on that are black with bronze bolts/hardware holding them together. I've previously never paid much attention to details like lug nuts, but after going through tons of threads on here the past couple weeks, I have seem some cool setups. I'm thinking I should use some kind of extended open end lug nut, but not real sure on brand/model or color. The car is black and the wheels are black with gold/bronze colored fasteners. So, was thinking bronze lugnuts? Just looking for opinions/feedback. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Personally I like to keep a theme with what I have.
Gold/bronze hardware would look great with matching lugs---or even lugs that match the color of your calipers.

Does anyone sell bronze lug nuts? To be safe, you can do black or probably neo chrome... The neo chrome will stand out like crazy on black.

Was just saying I'm into cars but haven't done the Honda/Acura/Toyota/etc import stuff. There is a nice style to the import stuff that many do that is clean/classy, and I have seen a lot of that on here while peruising the forums So, I was just looking for suggestions. As for pics, it's just a black TL...that will have dark colored wheels with bronze hardware. I don't have the wheels on it yet so I can't post a pic of that...other than that, it just looks like a black TL currently lol.

That's what I was thinking. I'm going to see if I can find some bronze colored ones. Any brand recommendations? I'm thinking just an extended open lug nut.
Well, I doubt there are any that are literally bronze in material, but I would think someone would make a yellowish/bronze/gold color that would work. I'm glad you mentioned the neo chrome. I ran across that yesterday when shopping around, and it really looks awesome on dark colors! I wasn't sure if it would be too much, but if I can't find something bronze, I think that may be the best bet!

Thanks for the input everyone.

I think Skunk2 makes something close to bronze...

I'll definitely check into that. Small pictures are small lol.

Thanks for the input!

No problem. But I think they maybe more gun metal color...

If you want to spend around the $100 range I'd suggest Muteki.
There's also more "mid range" ones such as Drag and D1Spec.

I currently have gold Drag extended-open lug nuts. They are also splined.
Here are mine for example:




Hopefully that helps, considering you also have black wheels.

That's right along the lines of what I'm looking for! Yeah $100 is fine. So are those Muteki?

I've always been a fan of the red or blue Spoon lugs.

Also if you think tire stretching is classy you should keep looking.

The ones he posted a picture of are 'Drag'

Awesome, thanks for the info. So, now I just need to decide between those, or the neochrome. I think either will look good. The neochrome looks good on dark stuff in general, and the bronze will match the bronze fasteners on the wheels and look good on a dark car as well. Hmmmm.....

I say neo chromes! LOL. Haha. Just my opinion.
