me?
I apologize for posting a thread such as this but im very new to this stuff. I was looking to make some subtle cosmetic modifications and decided that i wanted my lug nuts colored blue... or red... or w/e. I came across this,

And I dont understand what else i'll be needing for this... I usually get the regular black lug nuts, but these are caps? or what? I also have 8mm spacer front, and 10mm spacer in the back.

Do these fit my vehicle? and what bolts do i get to pair with these? or do i have other options?

M14 x 1.5 and our cars have lug bolts....unless you do a stud conversion. I would advise you not to put that cheap chinese-i-um crap on a 40K R, but to each their own. Make sure you get ball seat or cone seat depending on oem or aftermarket wheels, though some aftermarket will have ball.

I think what he was saying is that you can do a lug bolt to stud conversion and then use lug nuts. But consider:

- OE wheels use a ball seat whereas many aftermarket use cone seat (so take note when ordering lug nuts)
- If you do, buy quality parts from reputable companies (since you'd really regret having a lug failure)
- Here's something quality CLICK ME
- Then quality lugs in different colors can be purchased separately if you wish (with appropriate VW r13 ball seat or conical seat according to wheels)
- Pay more than $20 for lugs

I personally don't think its worth it just for the look.
