Im hoping to get some feedback from you guys. Im getting my stock rays powdercoated mirror black next weekend and i think new lugs would compliment them well. I was set on Red Rays but now people are telling me red lugs are ricer. I kinda thought it would be a good contrast from the black but now im not sure. I guess im torn between red, chrome, and neo chrome.

Also what do you guys think about brands? I know Rays is good but what do you all think about Muteki? If there pretty much the same quality i might as well spend half as much money on Muteki's and call it a day. The thing im most concerned about is the paint. I imagine they are all equally sensitive to scratches and chips.

Sorry if this is a repost, im just trying to make sure i dont waste $150

 

What color is your car?

 

What lugs would look best? Lugs that don't draw attention away from the overall appearance of your wheels. You want people to notice how cool your wheels look not, "Hey he has red lugs!"

+1 here too

 

thanks Gary! I was hoping to get your opinion on this, maybe I will go with neo chrome

 

I should have mentioned that, it's diamond graphite

 

So nobody has any reasons to avoid Muteki?

 

Since you're doing the black wheel thing either black or chrome lugs will look good. Be careful buying cheap/fragile lugs, they may not survive one install from a impact gun....

I vote black.

 

i would say black as well or maybe silver. but a girl i know has deevo racing lugs on her mazda and they look good and could save you some cash. there is a couple other brands as well. but if you found muteki at a good price for you then go for those!

 

Thanks, for bringing me to my senses Gary. I realize now that red would look out of place. I will likely go with chrome to match my center caps. I don't plan on removing my wheels often, at least with cheap mutekis I can just replace them when they get scratched. btw I always remove them by hand, no
Impact gun. As long as these nuts don't damage my studs or wheels I will be happy.

So nobody has any reserves about mutekis?

 

If you're going with regular chrome lugs, go with McGard.

I have muteki and they work fine for me

 

Don't use an impact gun on alloy wheels at all!! Use a torque wrench to tighten the lugnuts!

 

I have Muteki's on my wife's Subaru for 5 years now and no problems.
