Red Lugnuts

Can anyone recommend a source and size for red lugnuts that would fit stock rims on a 2004 (trying to accent the Mag Red)?

I would suggest getting a set of chromes powder coated in transparent red.

I had painted mine red but got slammed from the forum so I went to black, Maybe I just needed another shade of red.

with Randy. We have the McGard locking lugs on our car. All their lugs and locking lugs are triple chrome plated and are of the highest quality I have found.

I bought my McGard locking lugs at a local auto parts store. Offhand though, I don't remember seeing any of the red spline drive lugs. Check with some of the CF vendors. They may be able to help you.

Good luck!

Those lugs are great! However, I don't think the red is going to match your car. They are bright a medium-bright red. I just bought a set of those so I know. They match the torch red pretty well.
