Anyone of those reasons is valid on their own; I was just initially guessing the car was a weekend car and not a daily driver.

Oh BTW, I'm not sure if I should get the lugnuts powdercoated to match the spokes. I have a bias but I'm not sure. What so you guys (and girls) think?
AWESOME looking TT!

I would leave the lug nuts just as they are. I think they compliment the polished lip, wheel/rim bolt heads, and the center caps. They offer good contrast against the black wheel spokes.

I ordered them for my Arctic C4S in May but HRE was out of the little Ti bolts and they were not delivered until late July. Somehow they were the wrong size, for a standard C2, and they went back for a rebuild. Put them on the C4S for two days when I spied the TT coming off my dealer's truck.

I asked the GM who said it was sold but the buyer wasn't sure and I leaped.

Went to the dealer and had him put on one front and rear on the same side and it took about 100 ms for me to realize that they were made for each other.

What's your next move???

Gotta like your style!

Chances to test the desire are low though since the chances of my TT in Beechwood are probably as bad as you's being in Chicago.

Maybe one day...

congrats on the purchase. Tough to maintain, but when clean is sleek and stunning! Enjoy her in good health!
