Sorry about that. mike410b doesnt know how to interact properly with other humans sometimes.

Essentially, you want to keep you stock wheels, but want different colored lugs?

You have a couple options, and I would explore them in this order.
1. Do some serious internet searching for extended "tuner" lugs that have a ball seat.
2. Buy another set of oem honda lugs and have them powder coated (i would go this route)
3. Try out some sort of adapter and ghetto rig it.
4. Just use the wrong seated lug and crash and burn and die (jk)

seriously... there's really not much colored lugs made for oem wheels (ebay might prove me wrong tho) you can however just proceed and get colored tuner lugs to your liking and buy the washer adapters I linked on my previous post

One of my favorites.

And btw, the new avatar is even more distracting than the last one. I don't need an epileptic fit to go with my fit.

I just don't understand why he's worried abut 'going back to stock' like new lug nuts/pc'ing hte current ones is some huge deal.

They have lug nuts listed under the Fit category but it says nothing about what type of seat they have. From the image it looks like they're the tapered seat like all other tuner lugs.

If you want to run aftermarket lugs with OEM wheels you want something like this:

Club RSX.com SpeedStar Lug Nut Taper Conversion Washer

looks good thedilweed. I don't mind the lip too much, but agree with you. Really liking the blacked out wheels with the red lugs (powdercoated/painted stockers?).

I'm aiming for a jdp front lip. Hard to find used ones though...
Yeah. Just painted stockies. Took a little over 6 hours for prep and paint. My fingers are too fat to fit between the spokes -.-
