Jeff, the offset on those wheels is very nice, and the tires look nice and fat.

Dal those wheels look great on there. As for those spacers i just got the same one's, did you cut the studs down so you can use the acorn lug or did you use open end lugs?

I still have to do that, they stick out past the wheel a little bit. have the crappy stock lugs on it now

want some good acorn lugs that won't rust after they get hammered by the impact. any recommendations?

As far as good lug nuts you have to find some that are sainless. I had bought some good ones when i had my foe for the draglites because i told them i did not want them to rust i beleive they were like $40 with locks but i forgot the name i will see if i can find them.

I got roush ones with my wheels, they threw them in, not sure if these are them:

Its all I could find, but they have been pretty damn solid for me. No complaints and no rust whats so ever and they look nicer then some with the smooth transition rather then a bulge at the top of them.

There you go. Those look like them.

i really like the wheels. i have to agree though that the car needs something to offset all of the white now. let us know how the light output is with those new projectors.

Jeff, have you tried any of the painted lugs? I was thinking of trying some of those Black acorn lugs from AM next set of wheels. I have chrome ones now that have been ok for @ 7 years but they are pretty beat up now.

If you get black painted you can always do a touch up on them after they are torqued down to prevent rust.

One word for you car.... PERFECTION!

Dalamar · Mar 25, 2011

I like that idea Bob, black would go better with the wheels.

Dalamar · Mar 25, 2011

just ordered blackies from AM.

Matt they also have the gorilla locking lugs with keys for 14 bucks (FYI)

Sweet, I figure we don't drive our cars all the time so if the black scratches a bit after removing and installing the wheels its not a big job to get some black touch up paint with the small brush to seal it back up until the wheels come off again.
