Black & Blue.

Picked these up off ebay. Lightweight aluminum Porsche lug nuts annodized blue.
I think it's a good match with the black wheels. Not as blingy as the 24k gold plated lug nuts.

You need a pair of blue LeMans style hash marks on the drivers fender. Simple vinyl tape.

Looks cool - a unique car not for everyone. I like it. In fact, I plan on painting the wheels black on my 79 black track car, so eventually our cars will be twins, just with different wheels (unless I buy a set of twists).

You know what Jim, you could actually walk up to a group of women at a bar and get away with it.

Blue Nuts: Too


The black wheels look good, though.

Instead of blowing money on those lugnuts you really shoulda had the windows tinted to complete the dark 'stealth' look.

Herrrrre we go...I've seen this happen a hundred times. It starts with little mods and it is NEVER enough. The wheels were cool, though a very common thing on most cars out west, but seriously... Stop now and paint the nuts black again. That little blue mod cheapened the looks of the car and immediately put you in a different class of car owners.

I like them.

It's YOUR damn car, YOU paid for it, put whatever you want on it!

Anyone worried about a 'class of owner', other than their own, needs to get a grip.

Malcolm,

these are summer Z rated tires only.
The N signifies Porsche factory approval ratings as a oem tire.
