Does anyone know if/or you can buy colored nuts stock dc2r wheels? i have heard they are flat and you cant use tapered edged ones. Any help or direction would be great. Cheers

i know that with OEM rims you need to use BALLSEAT NUTS so they fit and hold the rims perfect. its not reccomended to fit aftermarket lugs like rays blox etc...

found the below info at this link (hope this helps man)

You are supposed to use the ones on the left, hence the sitting point. Sure those Rays may look cute on your OEM wheels, but they are incorrect. Your lug nuts could come loose since they arent seated properly.

Thanks mate, that helped. So i would need to change my rims to get correct fitment of lugs, or can you buy ''BALLSEAT NUTS'' which are coloured? Cheers

the ones at honda will probably cost heaps plus there black and i belive your looking for blue. try rim shops or just call around im sure some one out there must have what your looking for. or if it comes to the worse u can get them powder coated the the colour you desire.

also check the trader section theres taleb tyres they might assist.
hope this helps
