    yea thats basiccally why i bought them is for the back spaceing and cuz i wanted sum black wheels
    i want to go with the black burgandy look and when i seen thease i was like omg those are perfect:eek:
    i mounted just the rim on the front driverside just to see how much more they would stick out and compairred them to the back tire and there in the exact place i want them to be
    so i couldnt be happier
    deffentally worth the money

    yeah..............you can use paint, but it will come off/chip off pretty easily. it shouldnt be too bad tho. you can get the lugnuts at wheelers for like $1.25 each i think...............which is still alot cheaper than autozone or pepboys.

    not really. i mean....some paints are better for metal, but they will all chip about the same when you put a socket on them. what you can do.............and it will take a little while.................take the lugnuts to a bench grinder with a wire wheel............then use a good primer and rustoleum paint for metal on them..................and let them cure out for a day or so in a warm place.............that will let them hold up a little better than just painting them.

    then you'll be better off ordering the lugnuts from wheelers...........you cant use the stock lugnuts for the alum wheels with those steelies too good.

    Stock lugnuts are like the top row, far right. For steel wheels, you'll need the conical seat style, like the top row, far left.
