I have an SMB Z and recently acquired (maybe for sale soon) a set of Mercury Silver TE37 wheels. I'm trying to figure out what would look best on an SMB Z: blue Rays Formula lugs, stickers, and valve stem caps; or black rays lugs, stickers, and valve stem caps. The wheels came with black stickers and the vendor hooked me up with some black valve stems. While the wheels were en route, I purchased blue Rays Formula lugs, stickers, and valve stems thinking blue would look the best. However, after a test fitment of the wheels with black stickers and blue lugs, the blue seems to be out of place on the SMB.

Question is, Mercury Silver TE37s with blue stickers, lugs, and valve stems; or black stickers, lugs, and valve stems on an SMB Z?

 

Voted blue. Personal favorites:

I say black

 

the blue lugs will stand out more

 

Blue

 

Blue looks good Angelo!

You really can't go wrong with either.

 

Blue lugs would look awesome. Especially if you have anything Cusco on your car...

 

Get these.

Rays extended anodized lug nuts.

 

+1 on Blue.

 

I was going to get those, but I got these instead:



So you guys don't think the lighter blue won't clash too much with the SMB and red calipers?

 

u wont see from far

 

Oh snap ... thanks for that link!

 

i say black. i had red and blue rays lugs before. color fades fast..red will be pink, blue iwll be baby blue and the duraluminum are light but they strip and mess up very easy. be warned.

 

i like the blue but if its gonna fade quickly as experience has mentioned. id say go with the black.

 

Frankly the fading doesn't really matter to me, the lugs can always be replaced anyways. I'm just concerned about what actually looks better in relation to the paint job, calipers, etc. Black would blend in more, but that's just it--it just blends and doesn't stand out. Blue would stand out more, but would it match the rest of the car? Or does it even have to match anything? Decisions, decisons ... I appreciate the input guys.

 

if your not worried about fading then I'd say go with the blue.
or get black set for daily normal use and then swap on the blue for meets and shows etc.
i got black for my normal daily set and powdercoated a set white for show.

 

^^ Or perhaps ditch the stickers all together, then paint the lug caps and valve stem caps SMB?

 

Negro

 

My red Titek's extendeds just turned pink too Angelo

I'm switching over to a simple set of black Muteki's next week.

 

Although I said black above, have you ever thought about project kic neo chro? Here's my wheels (that are also mercury silver) with the neo chro lugs.



I think the neo chro would look pretty cool on a SMB. Nice TE's by the way .
