I just spent some time on Google image and saw these mounted on a few cars and they don't stand out as much as I thought they would. I think Blue is the way to go. Still should compliment the exhaust tips nicely. Waiting to here back from Ravspec and will be ordering from them in the next couple of weeks

Yeah Tevi, I have the SR48 lugs if you want a reference of how much they stick out from my numerous pics in the past. They are very light lugs too but they are forged so they are good quality. I will say though that I actually got my set on eBay for cheaper than anything the vendors were quoting me. I think I paid like $42 shipped vs. the 70-90 I was being quoted from vendors.

I only have the tail lights red but they are getting tinted within a couple of weeks. Oh yeah the emblem on my engine cover is red.
I m keeping the lugs. Just wanna add some color to the caps so they stand out now that wheels are black. N since next year I m going with a new wheel set up it has to work for it as well.
I m leaning towards blue at the moment. Calipers would be a nice touch. I ll add that on my to do list for next year maybe Haha

Now that you mention it I do remember reading about some Camber kits for the 4WAS that were Eibach brand but were named something diff lol

If I did lugs...I would need half of them to be the full size and half of them to be the regular size. If I got the same all around my lug nuts in the back would either stick out too far, or you wouldnt be able to see my front ones

I think I'm going with Kics R40 extended open ended in black chrome finish to finish off my wheels.

Thinking about a possible career change and I need some input from other people. Possible job would a new car salesman to sell Nissan & Kia at a very busy dealership (the #1 Nissan & Kia dealer in the metro area). Some pros v.s my current job: possibility to make alot more money and work at a dealership (cars a huge hobby of mine). Some cons: work every Monday and Saturday (still 5 days a week) and no vaca til a year of employment (only 1 week worth at that time). Currently I get about 12 days off a year plus 11 paid holidays, and work a flex schedule where I get every other Fri off (and no weekends).
Your thoughts?

Well I work in a similar field as you, but with Honda of course. My dealership here is pretty flexible, but mine is pretty similar. When I was in sales, I was expected to be there almost 24/7 of operating hours of the dealership towards the end of the month for the last week. Since you prolly have more ppl and are a bit diff payscale I don't know if yours would be the same. I don't like all the downtime that we typically have and its kinda annoying at the same time, I know theres a bit of cannibalization amongst the dealers, but usually they are all about units vs profits. But the time off definitely sucks and there isnt any paid holidays....but I also had a couple months where I could make twice what I make some months, so there is great potential at the same time!

I vote a big he// no Taylor. You're in with the Government, you went to school for it. YOU are RIGHT where you wanna be career wise buddy. Give it 5 years and you'll look back at this and you'll wonder how the he// you were even considering this.
Dealership? 100% SALES, STRESS, you don't need that man. YOU can only work 40 hours a week, you don't work weekends, and at this point, its easy to take for granted. When you lose that, you'll 4ever regret it.
Hang in there buddy, and it'll definitely pay off. The ONE recommendation I might give you, is IF you're considering working at a dealership, try it PART TIME, and if you've got a knack for it, then go for it, if not, you've tried it out slowly but aren't too far in over your head.
