I know most aftermarket lugs are a different shape and don't seat properly in the OEM wheels.

I want to go with black or dark grey lugs rather than chrome once I swap over to my coupe wheels (they're getting redone in grey eventually)
Are you trying to say lug nuts, but can't bring yourself to say the word 'nuts'?

Not sure I would use one, but it's a real thing, so...

All you need is a washer-style lug nut. Also known as shank-style. Also known as flat-seat. Most all of the big brand names make them.

Today was a great day - my trans crapped out on me leaving me stuck on the side of I-95. AAA to the rescue. Not sure if it was TCM related or something with the shift solenoids.

Hopefully I'll learn tomorrow what the dealership is going to do for me, as I've been complaining about the trans a lot the past few months and not doing jack **** about it.

Just ordered my new Michelin PSS this morning from Specialty Automotive Treatments in Fort Liquerdale. These f-ing things better make me feel like Mario Andretti. 245/35R20 all around. They will be installed Friday (my day off) Then again, anything is better than the Falken Azenis BS that I am currently running on. These have to be the worst goddamn tires.

I just got a set installed on Sunday. I only have about 50 miles on them. Waiting for them to break in before I really push it.

Initial observations: They are louder and seem to be a bit slower to react than my S04 Pole Positions. Probably not surprising that my old tires with like 3/32 of tread left were a little faster reacting

Kind of a long shot, but does anyone have any experience with the Stillen super charger kit for our cars?

My current tires are bald..... As in thread showing on the inside of all the tires. LOL I've been putting off buying the new tires for a month but finally decided that they were clinically dead. So PSS here I come!

Just FYI seems like "mag" lug nut is most commonly used name (go figure)

Only blue or rainbow on eBay
