I'm looking for blue or black lug nuts for the Advan RS rims that I'm going to pick up. Any suggestions on what brand/kind and where to get them? I prefer local but online will be fine.


Looking for opinion on what colour lug nuts I should get also. I have a CWP sedan with gunmetal rims and planning to paint the calipers red (OR BLACK, still deciding). Should I go with BLACK or BLUE?


Here are the Advan RS.

Some suggestions here.

Don't know if these fit though.


Oh, and a warning - don't forget doughboy's story. Not to say it will happen, but any time you get something for your car, you run that risk.

I know Nextmod can get lug nuts, I would expect simply tire, and CTA Patrique could as well

Pacific Mall sells these muteki (http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1485748) for $65.

SSG sells Rays (http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=16421&highlight=rays+lug) for $150.

I want something under $100 and quality assured.

Any other options you guys can think of?

How come you don't have locks on yours?

Look closely. I believe there is one lug with a notch in it. It takes a special key to remove.

Are you referring to MY picture to doughboy's picture? I can't see locks on the wheels.

If you are putting the money out for Advans dont cheap out on the lugs. Id go with the Rays in black.

Here are some brands:
Work, Rays, 5Zigen, Buddyclub, J's Racing

The only thing you will get for under $100 is Muteki and possibly McGard. Muteki lugs are just spline drive and no lock. You would have to buy locks seperate anyways which will be pushing you even closer to $100 anyways.
