Hey guys, i'm in the market for a set of locking lugs for the GTS. Which do you guys prefer, if you had a pic of them on the wheels that would be great as well.

I'm leaning towards the neo chro project kic r40 lugs now, don't know if they will stick out too much or not. It would be great to get a good pic of how the neo chro project kic r40 lugs look on the GTS.

Thanks in advance!

Thought about it and I decided against it. To much of a good thing isn't always a good thing. It would be to much going on with the calipers being blue, lugs, and then the stripe.... I feel I made the right decision

^ I dont know, I think the blue stripe would really set them off and give them some contrast. Maybe they look better in person but in the pics, the other blue items dont really stand out IMO.

Hmmmm....Well I might ask someone to photoshop my rims with the Blue stripe and see how it looks....In person the blue caliper really pops, so I didn't want to have to much going on, trying to keep it looking clean. Another thing to take into consideration, is the fact that my tires are stretched. According to my shop, he stated that with being stretched the painted stripe would end up looking too thick. He would have to paint behind the lip where the tire is stretched on to the rim....I don't know if what I said makes sense, when reading it, but when he showed me it,IMO the line looked too thick for what I was going for..... I wanted something like the TE stripe......Heres a pic of a car he did. I think the white stripe is about an 1" or
1 1/2"

I dont think that looks bad, but I think that its a little too big. Why even have it painted? Since your on the fence about it, why not find a vinyl shop and have them do a thin stripe around the wheel and see if you even like it. Worse case scenario, you lose 10 bucks worth the vinyl... Cheshirecat posted his wheels, he is using vinyl if you wanted a reference pic.

Ya I agree, on the white G it looks good, but not on my car, too thick for my liking. I agree with you on attempting it with Vinyl but..............I live in Hawaii There is no reputable Vinyl shops here, and even if there maybe 1, I guarantee they would charge an arm and a leg per rim If it was 10 dollars no problem, but not in Hawaii... Prices are marked up high.
Where did he post up pics? I am interested in seeing how they turned out
