is there an advantage to these or are they for bling purposes only? Love the titanium look but 200 is a little pricey for a set of nuts

Factory or even aftermarket lug nuts for my Land Rover are $310.00 a set... $200.00 isn't that bad.

Lol, you know something is wrong when a set of lugnuts cost as much as one of your wheels (yellow evo with the privat wheels)

Rice, and not to mention horrendously ugly, and ridiculously expensive.

I didn't mean to offend anyone.... big fan of your TSX, but I'm begging you not to put them on your Advans. Please. Wait..... since when you did have Advans anyway? And which ones?

My definition of rice? I actually have several, but one of them is an aesthetic that is overpriced, extremely eye-catching while at the same time being ridiculously ugly, ala 747/GT wing, Veilside body kit or neon/highlighter paint jobs.

To each his own, but I wouldn't even put them on my car for free, even if those titanium gram lights came with them. Unless I could sell them that is. I would put polished, anodized blue, red, green, silver, black lug nuts if it matched something on my car. But would I pay $200 for it? No... Rays lugs for $100+, maybe...

Go ahead and paint ANY car that chameleon blue/green/purple color and put those titanium gram lights and these lugs and try to disagree with me. I just don't like the look, it looks like someone mixed oil and water and coated some lug nuts with it.

De gustibus non est disputandum. Latin for "There's no dispute about taste." And the lug nuts don't appeal to ME at all.

Iridescense = rice

Sure I can. They look tight as hell! Is that justification enough? lol. And who said you had to race your car, I think they are a great thing to have for shows.

nah you didnt affend anyone I was just saying back your claim with facts of why to you it is rice.

I am picking up a set of advans this summer. another set of 17s without a lip for the race look. that is all I am disclosing at this point cause I dont share mods until I have picture proof.

I personally dont like blue and red lug nuts. those rays lugs are less flashy then any set of red or blue lug nuts are I hate to tell. I have seen several sets and they dont stand out.
