18in HFP wheels with volks formula one lugs set in blue

What color is your car? I think it will look good, but I wouldn't recommend putting aftermarket lugs on wheels that require cone type lugs. Here is what you can do to safely install aftermarket lugs on stock or hfp wheels:

Well I just bought Gorilla lug nuts for my car:

Figure: Blue Gorilla Lugs

But I needed to buy Speedstar Taper Conversion washers because aftermarket lugs pretty much sit in a 60 degree angle and it is not ideal and not recommended for our stock wheels. The stock lug nuts have ball seats (or 45 degree seats).

You can get these from kseriesparts.com (used to be the ClubRSX parts store).

The taper washers are pretty expensive for what they are, but at least they will help with your type of setup. Also, it will take a long time installing/removing those lugs. Lol.
 
I think they'd look good - just get the washers mentioned in dar-dar's post above
 
yea i know im getting blowin up on the other forum about the same thing i cant post pic here off my phone so i cant show you but if you go to the other site i have picture up on there and i already have the washer dar dar i did my home work before buying a 250 buck set of lug nut i cant use haha
 
So you're just wondering about the color, but you already bought them? I'm kind of confused.
 
yea the color the looks i dont see very many volk formula one lugs that why i went with it i was trying to load picture but i cant load it off my phone other wise i would of load them i just want to see what other people thought of it
 
Are these steel or aluminium? I haven't been able to find coloured steel lug-nuts.
