You'll have to post a pic once they're on the car! I'm intrigued to see the purple with the orange car

Here's the pics (don't mind the dirty car):
Figure: Blue Gorilla Lugs
Figure: Blue Gorilla Lugs side view
Figure: Blue Gorilla Lugs and taper washer close-up
I'm liking the look of the lugs on my car. My dad stares at it every time he gets/leaves home.

looks good! I want to see it in the daylight with the car. From the 1st pic, the blue looks good with the paint

My car is so dirty right now. Since the trees are blooming, pollen is pretty much falling everywhere. But I'll see what I can do with a day pic. I took these shots at around 6:30 today so there was no sun. Lol.

My blue Work ones were $150
I would have loved to go cheaper but the blue shade of the Work valve stems is odd (lighter in color) so no other brands shade of blue matches. I swear they do that on purpose because I'm quite sure a set half that price would have been more than sufficient. I mean really, at a certain point decent lugs are decent lugs and there isn't a whole lot of variation... mine had better spew sunshine and lollipops for that price.

Haha. The Gorilla lugs have a close blue color to the Fiji Blue. It's only the blue Work valve stems on my wheels that's ruining it.

Because of the darker pic I didn't even notice the blue valve stems on yours, lol. I just ordered my Work wheels and I got the lugs to match (at least it wasn't additional shipping since they're coming with the wheels). I think the Gorilla lugs match the colour of the DBP car better though, I'm just hoping the lighter blue looks alright with it too. I guess if I hate it I can always switch to the red lugs and valve stems next summer to go with the "Si" accent color but between the HFP lip kit, HFP suspension, and wheels, the budget is blown for this year.

Nice...I'd say it'll look good!! I hear you on the budget...I'm just finishing my work term and gotta go back to school for 4 months this summer so I'm gonna be living off like 10-12 hours a week at my minimum wage job :S so I'll be dipping into my savings this summer for sure :P

Looks pretty good in daylight actually! And at least you're just getting clouds... we're getting pelted with 4 days straight of rain and a snow/hail combo when it feels like mixing it up a bit

Pretty sure I would have gone ape $hit over that one... I'm a little over-protective, lol.
Lugs look good though!
