Default Lug nuts?

Hey guys,

I posted this in the wheels section as well, but I know that it would get more traffic here (mods please lock if this is a problem)...

I am looking to add a little color to my IS350 wheels. I know there is a specific shape that works for OEM as opposed to aftermarket.

Does any company make good lugs in colors that work well with OEM wheels?

^^^^ Good idea, look into some of the duplicolor products. they usually have something for anything. I know when I got aftermarket lugs they were wrong, so yes it is harder to find the correct lug.

well the thing about dulplicolor is that it will eventually chip and wear off. I would rather try to find a set that is meant to be colored

+1 rim paint with a anti scratch clear coat will do it.

Several layers of clearcoat ought to do the trick.
