You need to paint the ends of the studs. Everything else looks great.

Those natural studs stick out like nipples on a nun. Different but uncomfortable.

Yes i may grab some of the gorilla or the ebay solid end black lugnuts that are standard tire tool fitment in black color. Theyll cover the wheel studs and are 35$ on ebay a set of 20 that use the standard tire tool. I read bad reviews about the thin ones that use a key instead that cracked the lugnuts in half on ebay and amazon. I still need to grab 2 cans of duplicolor gloss black and spray 2-3 coats over all 4 wheels. These are what im thinking for 35$ on ebay. 20 Chevrolet Corvette C4 C5 C6 BLACK GORILLA Lug Nuts 17 18 Rims NICE! | eBay
