I'm thinking buy one set of red-lug nuts for my OEM Alloy wheels. What set do you recommend me? Close, open? I'm thinking on these ones:

Red would be a nice accent if there were red else where, like the interior. Blue would be better to accent the blue in the interior.
If you had red on the exterior then it would bring attention to your wheels.:wink:

I agree that if you go with coloured lug nuts, then that accent colour should also appear somewhere else on the vehicle. As you sit right now, black or black chrome would be sharp.
My preference is closed nuts, but I am in an environment where my studs get very rusty, and I don't care to see them exposed in the center of the nut.
Also, stay away from the cheap unknown brands. I did have that unbranded style, and found the driver (key) to be a sloppy fit, and made of soft metal which rounded over very easily, making torquing or removing the nuts difficult.

Ok. I have red calipers, red RS emblem, and red TRD frame-plate on the back.
Thanks Wee and Yarisme for your recommendations.
