Cool thanks. Haven't seen anything similar to the locking on the Volks. Might just go with that.

Can the lugs be powercoated or painted? None of the colors offered would match BS color w/ brushed aluminum wheels.

Found a picture online with Volks lugs installed.

Hey Gamedog do these lugs stick out far? Got any pics of your wheels with them.

It depends on the wheels man. They are sunken in on my front wheels, but are sticking out about a 1/2" on my rears. THis is usually the case with wheels for G's i've noticed.

Here are my fronts:



And my Rears:

Picked up these as well, except in blue. Very happy with them. Thanks to gamedoggy for the recommendation and Lou for the goods.

Those look real nice. My problem is I don't know if black lugs will go with my wheels. They have anthracite centers. I might have to go with the other volk lugs because those are available in gunmetal.

Isn't anthracite a grey? Maybe you should add some color to the lug nuts to add some color. Kind of like how my Allen screws in my lugs are red in the first pics to contrast the CF... Or are you not wanting that look?
