You will either have to buy CR or NSX lugs, or powdercoat the faces of your lugs. You are not suppost to run aftermarket lugs due to the seatings on our lugs and wheels. I had my black OEM powdercoated ones for sale for a long time a couple months ago for only $40 shipped, but everyone only wanted to pay like $25. So I put them on my car and glad I didnt sell them! I might do another set sometime soon.

If you do the actual part the the lug wrench goes on, yes. That is why I only did the faces of them. you cant even tell the whole lugs arent done though! they all look black.

The CR lugs are described as 'black chrome'. The black chrome coating seems to be quite durable - I've read a few accounts from CR owners who track their CRs and change wheels / tires often during and after events with no chipping of the coating.

Now, I'm not sure what your budget is; however OEM Honda quality: http://hardtopguy.com/store/product.php?pr...&cat=193&page=2 and you could likely find them elsewhere for even less.

Good luck - sounds like it'll look pretty good with your Spa / Indy yellow

^^just hit the dealer and buy OEM NSX lugs, they will cost about the same as HTG without the shipping. you should be expected to pay around $100 for all 20 lugs...

I used CR lugs. Just looked around at all the dealerships/websites to find the best site to buy them. I think it ended up costing me around $80. Not cheap but I'm happy with them. Here's a picture for your reference.

I would never pay $80 just for some black oem lugs. I powdercoated mine myself and so far they havent "chipped" or anything. The only cost to me was the cost of the powder and a little bit of my time.

Heres mine with the faces powdercoated black chrome.



On the car
