    Just about getting done with my wheels and i have gotten the stock torque stars powder-coated black 12inch brake upgrade red calipers looks very nice. I have one last thing... should i offset the black with Chrome lugs/covers? or keep it with the black on black?

    Also if you have any lugs/covers that you would recommend i would appreciate the links! Thanks

    I would do black lug nuts, keep it nice and clean. I got mine from autozone. There are probably better ones out there, but these do the job lol

    lol the ones at autozone I think were $20-$30? They were a set of 20, and 4 of them were locking lugs.

    The black ones I have, I just took off the other day. And around where they tighten to the rim, the black is peeled off. It's chrome lol.

    lol x2 here as well. bought from autozone, i think they are Dorman brand. I now take a piece of thinn cloth and stick in the socket so it doesnt peel away the black.

    i really like them though. they sit in a little deeper and are thinner. gives a better look over the lug nut covers.
