That is a good deal, but I'm painting a few parts next month. The Interlagos Fire paint code is one of the more expensive colors to buy because its a color shifting paint. Just a pint for this paint is almost $600 
and that doesn't include the reducer, hardener, thinner, etc. I love this color but it is so damn expensive to work with!

Finally some new lock nuts. I know its nothing big. Its one of those mods I've been meaning to upgrade, but always overlooked because of other parts on my list. Here's a few snaps last night when I installed them. My rims are a little dusty from garage kept so please excuse the mess. My car is going in for paint next week woohoo

JDM forged lock nuts in deep black.
From L-R: muteki -> enkei -> standard. Its nearly half the weight of the standard lug nut (muteki 36g/standard 60g). Slimmer, shorter, and lighter.
Before.....
.....after
Proof of my 5.25" lip. It looks much more meaner IMO w/the deep black lock nuts. No curbage on wheels FTW!

+1 on being careful, however if it requires a key, they are technically called lock nuts; hence the requirement of a key to open them. I've had these type of lock nuts with previous cars as well and never had a problem with them stripping or wearing down. This is my first time though with forged ones and its even stronger. I hand tighten it first then secure them with a torque wrench so I'm not stabbing or jerking at it when I'm tightening/loosening them.
I plan on keeping my SSR's and getting another set but in 18's.

^ Sorry, but neo chromes for my set up 
.....maybe if I had some gram lights w/titan lip. Other than that no thanks. IMO those open end neo chromes make me want to throw up..... actually any that are open end. That's just me though 
, everything is pretty simple and not too loud.

Damn man, I expected more than Muteki's from you too. 
At least something in higher quality. I had Kics on up until last night on several of my wheels but ended up switching to WORK RS'. No shot of the RS' yet but here are the Kics I had. I think they bring a perfect level of contrast to the wheels.
[Thanks for the shipment by the way
, most likely dropping everything off for paint next week]

Muteki is a perfectly fine, reliable brand... Ive had like 20 sets of their lugs on all kinds of different cars and never had a problem.
Also... Mike, I wanna f*ck your rear wheels. And the fronts too. haha

Muteki's are perfectly fine but some extended black rays would looked a lot better. Plus they come with real a actual lock and not just a spline drive lug. But since he rarely drives the vehicle I don't think he has to worry about it being stolen lol. I just thought everything else is pretty nice why not some lugs too, all the little details count on this car!
