Should I go with some black acorn lugs or chrome acorn lugs??? Its a hard decision but I deffinitly need some new ones since mine that I have now are rusted to S***. Ohhh and look what else I found out today that somehow I never new lol

My 2 front 10x9s have 245/40s on them...Isnt that kinda weird??? I thought 265/35s are normal for 10x9s. Hmmm maybe it had something to do with the fact that the guy i bought them from had them on a lowered ford ranger??? lmao anyways what lugs should i go with???

245/40 is a little skinny but it's a good overall diameter.

yeah i thought it was a little skinny too lol...just was wonderin if anyone else on here has that tire size on theyre 18x9s...but yeah im thinking about some chrome lug nuts might make the wheels pop a little more

I like them. Don't waste your $ on locking ones. If somebody wants your rims, they are going to get them. I leave my non-locking ones on so @ least they won't f my car up if they want mine.

Not sure why I have one missing when I took this pic. It's there now.

yeah but im afraid if i get some black ones it will be too much black...so idk like you wont even notice them because it will just blend in with the rest of the wheel...

I run American Muscle's "Bullet" lug nuts. They look awesome with the Saleens imo. make sure you buy the Lock set too!

Chrome...they will match the center cap and break up the all black wheel nicely. I have silver caps/lugs on my black FRs and I love the combination.

Chrome or Billett. The little bit of contrast will go a long way.

I have 245's on my front (17x9) wheels. They're definitely too small for the 9" wide wheel, but its not the end of the world. They still do what they're supposed to. But like I can see in your pictures on your wheels as well, the 245 tire doesnt quite reach the lip of the rim.

My dad has 245's on the front and 275's on the rear of his car(factory 10th anni cobra wheels, 17x9 all around)

Paint them yellow...that would be different and might look good.
