Default 24k gold valve stem or lug nut brands?

Anyone know any brand valve stem or lug nuts that look closest to this kinda gold?

Nothing like that...that's REAL deal GOLD! The other gold stuff is usually anodized and won't match. I'd probably go with chrome lugs.

LOL.. This is the hardest decision ever... I'm thinking chrome too since I'm tryna find the lx-mode chrome door handles. Your Indonesian guy won't budge every time I ask..

If you get the anodized gold it won't look good. It's funny cause the guy who bought my car isn't even showing the chrome. He wouldn't even miss those pieces. Only a few people had the LX Mode chrome door handles, that's why I got them. You could always get the eBay chrome door handle covers. They're like the LS460 all chrome handles.

Yeah, I've seen those. I think it's too much chrome for me. I like how the lx-mode is just a little touch of chrome so it's not over doing it. Exactly.. I even said I'll drive to him and take it off for him at no additional cost LOL. Ridiculous

Last time I went looking for LX-mode door handles, I had to call my bank and tell them to get my money back. Just don't go through VIP Auto salon. Pay the price on L-tuned. You try memoryfab for the valve stem?

Nope, but I will now! Thanks. Ya, I heard that VIP Auto Salon has been scamming most of its buyers. People were buying full wald kits and getting nothing...
