With the HRE's, the Red would look good, but out of place on the car. I would have to go with old faithful. Some nice polished black ones and handle them with care, if that's possible.

Or those bad ass burnt titanium ones I've been seeing....

I picked up a stud conversion kit with the neo chrome titan nuts. They look great. Theyer not installed yet but I think theyer gonna look sweet. I'm pretty sure these are what Bear is refering to as burnt titanium.

I wish I bought titanium burnt but got neochrome instead. Look pretty cool reflecting on silver wheels.

Because I didn't want to spend close to $300 on project kic nuts and couldn't find close to titanium burnt when i needed a set soon. I'll get one in the future.

Project Kics Neochrome FTW. Next time my car is not embarrassingly dirty i'll snap a picture. On Anthracite wheels in my case.

Your icon makes me laugh every time I see it.
