aftermarket BBS lugs

Traded for OEM Evo BBS, I want to powder coat them and do an aftermarket colored lug. But from what I understand, you can't run an aftermarket lug on OEM wheels because they ruin the wheel after sometime.

I've searched but haven't found anything, does anyone know of a good aftermarket lug that is compatible with OEM BBS?

THANKS!

its not that they will ruin the wheels its that its not safe there are a ton of threads in the suspension fourms with that said ive run aftermarket lugs on my oem bbs wheels and dident have any problems they were loose once but that could have been from me using my impact or something.

Unless you are running shank-style aftermarket lugs, they are not safe and not intended for use on the BBS wheels

Cuz colored lugnuts are more important than your wheel falling off.
