Rays, Spoon, etc...which red red lug nuts, match Milano red...
Basically as the title says. I want to know which company makes the best matching red lug nuts to Milano red. Spoon's lug nuts seem to match more tha Rays do, but you can never tell by just a picture.
Thanks a lot!

None of them will really match milano red but I'm always a advocate of the Rays.

Hmmmm NOT GOOD!!! I just got some Rays.
Can anyone else confirm them fading? And are we talking a few months or years?
Thanks.

Re: Rays, Spoon, etc...which red red lug nuts, match Milano red...
here are mine
i chose rays because of my sa3r v2 wheels and because they are closed end extended (do not use these lug nuts if you have extended studs, fyi)

i don't know about the fading part but mine are still the same color as when they came from the mail
its an off red like pinkish if you were to compare it to milano or new formula
spoon has a better red but not extended
spoon is more sophisticated and typical looking maybe more light weight
my skunk2 were lighter than the new rays ones i have

Great! Thanks for the picture! I'm not using extended studs, so I'm good. It's funny how you cannot use extended lug nuts on extended studs.

hahaha i know
i was like huh?...what?...ok?...
hahaha
make sure if you plan on getting the rays
there are two types: extended closed end and <U>non</U>-extended closed end
whatever your preference is
to me its depending on the wheel
if i had the sw388
i would roll with the spoon red ones

Ehhhh for some reason I've always been a fan of the way extended lug nuts look. And you're right, the red Rays do give off a real redish/pinkish color even brand new. I wonder if there is anything you can do to make sure the lug nuts are less prone to fading.

mine began to fade as well.. and you have to be very careful every time you take them off to keep from messing with the anodized paint.
