its blue anodized aluminum cap. and he should be hesitant to use them because theyre known to oxidize and rust, bonding with the threads and impossible (literally) to remove.

gorilla lugs will not lock up or seize, but they will lose their luster, but for 30 bucks what do you want? and the paradas look nice, just lower it

Anyone know how to get my wheel caps on for the back wheels, if you look at the last pic, that gold thing in the center is blocking me.

One way to handle the rear golden dome is:
Take the rear wheels off of the car
Wrap the rear drums in newspaper and tape it down around the dome
Flat black (Or gloss becuase of your wheels) spray paint lightly

Dont get to carried away becuase of the proximity to painted surfaces.

i love circuit 10's, why did you have to get so low profile tires? it ruined it. so did the lugnuts. red or black would be better.

i'm getting circuit 10s in flat black soon, 16s w/45-55 series (not sure yet) tires.

you should have gone with a little bigger tire. Even with a drop I dont think it will look right. A 205/40/16 will cut it on an EG hatch but not our big cars. You should have looked into a 50 sidewall, at least a 45.
