Stock Black TL rims with Blue lugs?

I plan on painting my stock 05 rims black soon.

And i was wondering how do you think blue lugs and maybe painting my calipers blue would look?

I like the whole blue look, and my whole interior has blue leds.

maybe a photoshop?

First off, you should get the wheels powder coated.

You can use my car as a reference for photoshops for the blue stuff you want to add:

Do not paint them blue. If you had a crazy BBK (big brake kit) and they were anodized blue, it would be okay.

Gold, red, black can look good. Since you are going to powder coat your wheels now you should get your calipers powder coated at the same time. Or leave them alone and enjoy the stock look like I do!

i say no on the lugnuts as u will chip the paint once u losen it. also u cant go with aftermarket tuner lugs as i believe the stem is a differnt degree. correct me if im wrong but i think oem have a wider contact compared to aftermarket lugs.

Isn't powdercoating more expensive?

And what do you think about blue lugs on the black wheels?

are your wheels a shiny gloss finish or flat black?

I paid 60/wheel for powdercoating. That included media blasting and powder coating. http://www.exotics-inc.com. They are gloss black with a new DuPont powder coat. Absolutely stunning!

See theirs no good powdercoating shops around my area of Baton Rouge, LA. So I believe I have to resort to painting.

And I just thought blue lugs on the stock black wheels would look good. You should consider it
