Need help on picking up lug nuts...

Hi...
I just got myself a set of rims and found out my Rays lug nuts got ruinned..
So i am now into buying another set of lug nuts.

Should I go for Ray's extended nuts (blue or black?) or should I get project kics Neo Chro R40?
The Rays are lighter (as I heard each pound lighter on the wheel would give you a gain of 1whip) but the Project Kics are more durable.
The car seems too much black and not out standing after I added the gun metal rims so I want something more out standing on the lug nuts.
Which one do you think I should go for?
thx

Go for some colored Ray's lugnuts. Personally, I would never rock open-ended lugnuts like the KICS on a daily driver.

Holy crap, nice wheels! I have the same set Haven't seen anyone else with them. I have the Rays black lugs (but my car is DG)....and center caps on their way. I don't think the blue lugs would stand out much or tie in to any color on your car, and I wouldn't go for red (I've seen the red lugs and they turn pink after being in the sun much)....I'd probably just stick with the black Rays.

I believe there is another member got the Advan RS on this site. But it's still a rare set in the community .
I was going to get gold instead but ended up with the gun metal.
I need to order the center caps as well. Are you getting the extended center caps or just the regular ones?

As for the lug nuts. I have blue BBK so it would match if i get blue lug nuts.
The black Rays would look the same as what I have now.... The car seems so dark now.
I am thinking about getting the Ti coated R40 for their durablity.

I got the flatter (non-extended) ones. I didn't particularly like the extended ones. Unfortunately, they're taking longer than my wheels to get here....I got my wheels in like six weeks, and I'm going on seven for the center caps now.

The wheels are rare (probably because of the lack of an enormous lip....haha), but I like them a lot. Nice to see another set out there!

Would the non-extended ones fit on the wheel?
Coz I heard the G35 would need the extended ones.

I like these wheels a lot too. My favourite since I got the car.
Was going to get gold but it's kinda too flashy for me right now.

Anywayz, what lug nuts should i get???

I'm not sure what you're referring to....if it's the lugs, the regular sized ones fit because that's what I have on my car. If it's the center caps, I sure hope the non-extended ones fit because the guy I bought them from promised they would. I guess I'll know when they come!

As for the lugs, I think the blue ones actually would look good. I hadn't thought of your blue BBK when I said they wouldn't really tie in with other colors on your car.

will i need extended lug nuts for 18" adr rims?? and why are they longer and 48mm extended compared to say 35 or 26 mm oem lug nuts? will they just stick out of the rim farther to show off or is there any advantages of this? i've been searching and cant find answers and also didnt know what is better,
thanks,
neal
