I agree with the neo chrome. You don't want to get too abstract (purple), but you don't necessarily want to look like you are trying to color match your lugs to your paint color either. I considered red lugs because my calipers are red, but decided that would be a bad idea. I would go with the neo chrome or black for sure. Yep.

I agree ^^

Neochrome would go nicely with your color scheme

I personally don't think neo chrome will match with gold but that's just me. Look at this thread it may help you choose. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-lug-nuts.html

My calipers aren't painted yet, so I can paint them any color I want. I will be painting them shortly after installing the wheels.

Ohh ok I know what your talking about. I would probably go with the neo chrome or some really dark purple lugs.
