Default Got some new nuts.

I bought these from AzNGR81 a few weeks ago. Fast, friendly service. Pleasure to deal with. I didn't think lugs would make such a big difference. Boy was I wrong!

Here's what my wheels used to look like:





And now:

neochros ftw. I know what roflitzjinno means, It's REALLY easy to overtorque these and destroy them. For overpriced lug nuts, you would expect something to be much stronger. Watch out!

Congrats, they look great. What a coincidence I bought my r40s from the same person. I just my received my new set yesterday. They look great on Mag blue rims. Mine dont seem to stick out as far as yours though.

Thanks for all of the kind words. I'll really be careful when torquing these. I read a thread where the guy snapped one and it was a real PITA to get the broken one off.

And red@9k, my rears don't stick out as much as the fronts. If they didn't come in sets, I would've bought R26's for the fronts. But I am really diggin' how they look.

Funny story....After I installed them last night, I figured I'd go for a ride to show off my fancy new lugs. Then I'm driving around feelin' all cool the what shows up to bust my bubble?

















Crappy cell phone pics but you get the idea.
