what color lugnuts?

i've decided to just go simple and effective with some muteki lug nuts but i'm stuck on which color i should get. my car is blue-on-blue rims and i was wondering if i should get some blue lug nuts or offset the blue and go red to match the brembos or go stealth black or something else...just want some more opinions...here are some pics

thanks!

I think I'd stick with blue. Red would stick out to much for me.

Red will look more pinkish (anodized)

Blue will not match the other shades, so i agree (yuck)

Black, cant go wrong.


Id look into some lowering springs first

3 of my rims are hanging on by 4 lug nuts (missing 3 out of 20) so i think i'd rather take care of this than springs...i'll prob do bilstein/spec r swifts after i fix this first

Most anodized lug nuts will fade over time from heat (red will turn pink and blue will turn light blue)

I would go with Kics R40 or R26 in gunmetal. Best lug nuts IMO especially if you track your ride.
