Also, if you haven't seen them the weds lug nuts are pretty hot too. They're hard to find though, the best I could do was $150 a set from one of the vendors. I'm trying to find some pics.

if you find pictures, let me know... I was going to run custom powdercoated blue lugs to match the stripe.

I guess they're not that much different than anything else. I ended up ordering some bronze Muteki lugs that look exactly the same, but if this blue turns out to match well I may have to invest:

Also, I think it was Gruppe S that quoted me 150 for a whole set.

Weds Sport Wheel Nuts are design to fit Weds Sport wheels perfectly and gives a better look to the rims. Their lightweight aluminium design lowers the rolling mass of your wheels and these nuts are often used for race purposes. Each set of four nuts comes with a removal tool. Also available with a locking head, they keep your wheels safe and sound.


They are made from A7075-T6 Aluminuim Alloy and weigh in at just 25grams each. Normal Wheel nuts are about 65 grams. They also have a small grip on the end to allow easy turning with your fingertips.

I honestly prefer a different face front and rear, so I would say ROCK them! the same concavity/size all around makes the front look odd IMO. you need a stagger; makes the rear look wider, etc.

also, with the 1 inch narrower rim, it will sit about 24mm farther in, so you could run a 15 or 20mm spacer in the front to push them out so they are flush as well...

Adam told me if i want to RETURN them i CAN, hey but i got good deal so i just go ahead try them on. Thanks for HELP bro

^^ Remember once you mount them and drive on them they are used...if you wanted 9.5s all around, stick to it. Dont settle. Trust me..

the blue wed lugs look veeeeery close to the stripe color.

the website you showed it came out to 70 bucks for them. that is pretty good.

Are you sure, it looks like 38 dollars for 4 lugs to me?

EDIT: Yeah, $221.25 before shipping from the UK...
