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

Hey what do you guys think? It seem some like it some don't let me know your input thanks.

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.

Are these steel or aluminium? I haven't been able to find coloured steel lug-nuts.

Honda has black lugs available.

They are for the S2000 and will work with stock or HFP wheels.

They are $5 each so you are looking at $100 for black steel lugs. College Hills Honda Has them.
