Red TiTek lug nuts on stock wheels!

Some of you may remember back in November that I won the November Fit of the Month contest, and received some TiTek lug nuts as the prize. Well I decided to go with red ones, and received them mid January and finally got my hands on a torquing wrench this weekend to put them on. And here are the results! They stick out noticeably, and it doesn't seem bad from several feet away, but it does look a little funny when you're right up beside the car. But overall I'm fairly pleased. Would probably be better on some other rims but whatever, I can't afford that stuff yet =p.

reminds me of when I see ghetto cars driving with exhaust tips sticking 6"+ from their bumper...ha ha.

Sorry just my opinion. To each his own...me personally not a fan.
Keep them and get some rims. That would look better.

you shouldn't put aftermarket lug nuts on stock wheels... the aftermarket wheels have a dip in them where the aftermarket lug nuts sit in. Stock wheels and lug nuts are flat they don't have a curve in them.

I see you're running stock Dunlops in winter conditions. I'll put in my suggestion, as usual, to use winter tires. How much damage of other members cars do you need to see before you consider it?

heh I got it in late october, so I figured I could last the winter with all seasons, at least this winter anyways. I've driven with all seasons for years now so I have fairly good experience with it

Aftermarket lugs on oem wheels is as bad as putting wheels on your car andnot being lowered. They just dont flow!

Save the nice red lugs for when you get dropped on wheels
