i want to have red lugs (aftermarket, painting stock ones wont work) on my stock rims, and ive been looking at these.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem


would red lugs like these be safe to use with OEM wheels (GSR snowflakes)??? if not, are there any types of lugs that would be good and come in red. thanks

i figured the acorn style aftermarket lugs should work, but im not really certain.

all help is appreciated

 

those are fine.

 

yea? thanks.

the 12x1.5" is good too, right? just wanna make sure before i get lugs that dont fit.

 

^^^yup

those aren't fine. OEM wheels use a ball/radius type lug nut.
those lug nuts in the picture are tapered

what happens when you run them? they will get loose over time, your wheel will wobble, you'll bend a wheel stud, and then the wheel will fall off.

but hey, what do I know.

 

thanks alot. car-saving advice right there^

you wouldn't happen to know any alternatives to stock lugs, do you (pref made in red)?

there has to be teg owners out there that use colored/aftermarket lugs with their OEM rims (safely, that is). any recomendations are appreciated

 

whoops looked at it wrong.

hunger owns

 

if im not mistaken spoon makes colored lugs that are acorn style. but i could be wrong.

edit: im pretty sure im wrong

 

I'm not omniscient either but I'm pretty sure they don't. I know for a fact that all of the Spoon lugs I've personally seen have been tapered. I think you are going to have a tough time finding colored aftermarket lugs with ball seating. Good Luck and if this has taught you anything, don't believe the first word you hear on Honda-Tech, there are a lot of people that answer questions that they really aren't qualified to answer.

 

I have red lugs on my blades, looks real clean with my red car and all.

 

Definitely look into getting ball seated lugs. I have to replace mine now that I just switched to blades - the wheels do NOT fit right. Gorilla sells ball seated lugs if I remember correctly.

 

watch the ebay painted lugs i heard they fade fairly quickly. but thats just what i heard

 

i ad those on my milano red 97 gsr and got flammed on hardcore! but i like them. i had them with polished blades and i thought they looked hot

 

oh god, a post about what color lug nuts on a stock ugly slowflake rim.....just leave the stock ones...

OH HEEEEEY didnt realize i just typed that...yeah looks fantastic

 

why dis snowflakes? they are the lighest integra rims made arnt they?

wait... isnt there a lug cover for snowflakes?

I'm glad someone posted this. I can't also stress the above information enough!!
Some more info: All if not most aftermarket wheels use tapered/conical lugnuts.

 

spoon only sells gunmetal lugs for oem wheels.

 

my gorilla lugs are ball/radius style, but for the life of me i cant remember where i bought them. They are red and the color had stayed bright for about 1.5 years. I would def reccomend them. Try ebay i thought i saw some on there the other day.
