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.

That would be the NOPI way

 

The Rays ones turn pink after a short while, from what i understand.

 

Hmmmm NOT GOOD!!! I just got some Rays.

Can anyone else confirm them fading? And are we talking a few months or years?

Thanks.

 

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

Yes they do, which is why i went with black this time around

 

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.

 

It's ok, I'm sure pink/red looks good...lol
