I just ordered some Vossen CV7s in polished silver that should be here by the end of the month. I'm running a dual concave setup with a +25 offset. My dilemma is the lugs. My car is blue slate and have gold brakes. I'm pretty much set on Muteki SR48s and I kinda want to do them in burning blue. I'm just not sure how far these will stick out with my offsets, and if the burning blue will clash with the blue slate? Should I run black or chrome? Should I do a shorter lug thats closed? So many options and I would appreciate some input! Reason behind the burning blue is because it will somewhat go with my anodized blue parts under the hood (radiator hose clamps and soon cusco strut bar mount which is anno blue)

 

Burning Blue SR48 on silver CV3s. I think mine will be more sunk with the offsets I'll be running??

 

imo, i would get closed end, short black lugs. im not a fan of lugs that stick out that far like yours. rays makes a 35mm lug that fits the criteria

but in the end, whatever makes you happy. if you already bought them then i would hate to see money wasted

 

Thats someone elses setup, I have only purchased the wheels, trying to decide on what lugs to go with.

 

I agree!

 

Send Charles @ B2Autodesigns (site vendor) a PM, he's got most any lug nut available along w/ matching locksets. Agree about the closed shorter lugs, congrats on the new wheels too, should look great!

 

I agree, I would prefer a closed and shorter lug with those wheels. The CV7's has a clean and straight look and it looks a bit off with the open lugs sticking out that far.

As far as the color, really depends on what look you want for the car. But that blue color would work IMO.

 

The oem lug studs tend to rust out as well, ive had that issue in the past and only used close-ended lugs. If available ill get a regular length for the rears so they are flush with the wheel face and then use the extended ones for the fronts because of the deeper lug pockets to accomadate clearing the BBK
