Default What color of Lug Nuts...

I have the Black Chrome stockers that I will be keeping because they are bad ***.

I'm wanting different lug nuts, I'm considering Red, Black, or Neochrome.

What color do you all recomend with the looks of my wheels and calipers?

I'm considering extended "tuner" style instead of the closed factory style and size.

Thanks for your input.

I couldn't find any tuner lugs that are acorn for them to work with the OEM wheels. I went with the Gorilla lugs. They come in silver, red, blue, and black. I had blue for a while then switched to the black. The blue stood out too much IMO.

I would go with black, although the red might look good with the calipers.

Whatever you do, don't get the flat angle lugs. You need the acorn or else they will loosen over time.

these are the style I'll be getting, they have a ton of colors and should fit our wheels fine, no?

What color of Lug Nuts...-hwlzv.jpg

I also like what this guy did, one red lug to match the caliper, decal, and valve stem.

Chad, the link you posted are lugs that will fit, but will not stay tight.

I did my research when I wanted to get lugs myself. Unfortunately almost all aftermarket lugs are to be used with aftermarket wheels.

That is why I got the Gorilla lugs. To my knowledge they are one of the only companies that sell the type of lug that works with the OEM wheel on the Z. Tuner lugs are flat angled, while if you look at the stock lug it is rounded, hence the name acorn. You need acorn lugs or else you are running the risk of them coming loose over time.

No problem. I didn't know much either but someone had mentioned it to me and after researching I figured I didn't want to risk it.

IMO Gorilla is great quality, you will not be disappointed.
