for your setip i would say get black lugs or silver. there are plenty to choose from in the HT sponsor forum, i got some for $35 shipped. make sure you get the right thread size and mating surface for the wheel. stock wheels have the rounded mating surface, and aftermarket wheels have a flat mating surface.

sorry, the shop i bought them from isn'tthere anymore. i found them on ebay though, they're muteki lug nuts and there are plenty of them going for $35 shipped! my lug nuts are open ended, but they're not the extended type. i think the extended lugs look dumb. look on ebay and decide what you wan, there are a lot of styles to choose from.

i like my lugs, i like that the key is on the inside, rather than the typical outside like stock. with the outter key setup i used to scratch up my wheels around the lugnut area. but if you find something that you like, then go for it! its your ride and you should do what you want. like my girlfriend always tell me...if you don't love it, don't buy it.

are ITR wheel lug seats domed or conical? if they're domed, you need a domed lug like the OEM lug, not your standard aftermarket conical lug.

^^^ those are not domed at all. you can see from the side shot that there is no curve to it. the dome ones have a ( shape to it, and the ones pictures are &lt; shaped. rays might make some that are domed, but the ones in the picture are NOT domed.

as far as i know, the only aftermarket lugnuts compatible with stock wheels are the GUNMETAL spoon lug nuts, you can get open ended oem lugnuts from a crx, and gorilla offers oem style lugnuts i believe..

do not, i repeat, do not use conical style aftermarket lugnuts on your acorn style oem wheels. k, thanks
