  • should i get chrome lugs?

    i was thinking maybe chrome lugs would look good cause i have the chrome wheels...but my car is blacked out, and i was thinking the factory black lug covers add a touch of black to the wheels to go along with the theme...tell me what you think

    Since you have a black car and black lug nuts or covers it really doesnt look bad. Would look good either way.

            i actually like them black. they add a touch of class to the wheels that seems to seperate the chrome. i think the lugs would make the centres look oversized as they would just meld into the existing chrome

              so its still a split decision haha. i need new lugnuts because some that i have now were rounded by the previous owner... so ill either save money buying the normal crappy lugs and keepin the stock covers, or go for chrome lugs...still havnt decided yet.

                  yeah but its not like they are a descusting black. they look fine (and are free...thats a big one) and go along with the black look. where would i get chrome lugs anyway? because i know it was said not to buy chrome lugs from autozone or offline because they wouldnt meet GM safety specs, and not to cry when your wheel comes off from crappy lug nuts...

                  I'll say this again - Safety-Related parts SHOULD only be GM, unless you know where/who made the part. Aftermarket parts DO NOT have to meet GM specifications or quality.

                            I've got the non-chrome version of those wheels, and I put chrome lugs on. I must say, I would definately reccomend it to anyone!! It looks very sharp!
