Opinion needed asap!

I have these red anodized gorilla lugs from my Civic Si that I never used because the wheels were ball seat.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the SS/TC rims are wedge seat so of course I had to try them.

I kinda like it but I need a second opinion before I go forward with the other wheels. Thoughts? I like that it adds a bit of security also, with the gorilla key and all.

I'd say leave em on. They actually look good on the silver Balt cuz those lugs look like they're a metallic red, right? But then you gonna have someone with a turbo in their car saying it's rice LOL. If you like it keep it.

Thanks all, yeah I put the rest on, gf said she liked it so I'll go with it for a bit.

may be powdercoating the wheels a darker color in the near future so I'll see if I can have the lug nuts done at the same time if the cost is low.

I LOVE the silver I kind of settled for it at purchase but after having the car for a week I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I think they look good where did you get them at, my 08 SS/TC is sports red tint coat and they would look good on my car as well. I think they look good on the silver too

you're right, they probably would look pretty good on a sport red SS.

Like I said in my original post, I had bought them for my civic si for when I got aftermarket wheels but never did. It was just luck that the cobalt turns out to have the exact same stud thread size as the 8th gen civic.

I got them from a store named Corsport. Here's the link http://www.corsportusa.com/store/cat...oducts_id=1224

when you order just note that you want the red anodized.
