hey again, sorry im realling filling up the forum atm with some crap but keep remembering new things i need to ask about, if im posting to much, send me a msg plz dont flame me in the thread =\
Anyway im dying to get some black wheel nuts for my s2, they must be black but i have no clue where to get them, i dont want to import some if i can avoid it, but thats the only way i have found them unless i wanna pay like 250 bucks for a full rays set which i dont need.
Anyone no much on wheel nuts?

If you want black wheels nuts, but don't want to pay for quality items. Simply paint your factory ones black. I seriously doubt you'll find decent wheel nuts for under $150. But try MX5 Centre, they sell 949 racing lug nuts in black for $150 for a full set.

you can spend at least a few thousand $ on the wheels, so another $200 you reckon cost a fortune ???

they are not only wheel nuts but with the lock nuts too so I reckon its worth it . . .

try contact Autotechnik on the trader he might be able to help you

If you're going to sport some baller rims, you might as well spend the money on the wheel nuts for protection and looks.

true, and i worked them into the price so i dont have money just lying around randomly.
And vyets stop stalking me =P
i dont see the point in paying top dollar for wheels nuts when it should be simple to just buy some black ones with locks nuts, i dont really care what shape they are so long as they are black and have lock nuts supplied, i been to a few places that specialize in rims, and they only really got basic chrome nuts, or just didnt have black ones, so for the moment im hoping someone pops up with some to sell before i start looking into getting some shipped.
i got an offer tonight for some d1 wheel nuts (black) but they dont supply lock nuts, for around 65 bucks still considering it, but really the rims are expensive so i would feel alot more comfortable with lock nuts.

if you can afford a high $20k car you can afford $200 wheel nuts to protect your wheels or go autobarn and find some cheap ones and spray them black. Maybe keep an eye out in the for sale section for some 2nd hand ones if you want to save afew pennies

You can get black lugs from JDM YARD for like $100, but they are a smaller bolt size so the OEM wrench wont fit.
