I was thinking about ordering the black Gorilla lug nuts for my mag painted wheels but wasn't sure how they would look. Has anyone done this yet and if so some pics please?

they will look better than the chrome and they will not swell as some have experienced.

I considered the black Gorilla lugs but in the end bought the chrome to complement the Mach/Pony logos and other silver components on and in the car.

I thought the black ones would just merge with the colour of the wheel. As such I preferred the contrast of the original chrome lugs, but wanted to avoid all the problems with the stock parts!

Personal preference and all though! :)

I like the chrome too. With the center cap it looks cool and breaks up the dark wheel/tire

I went with the chrome Gorilla on the same wheel. I like it better than the black lug nuts, especially on the iconic silver car.

Love the contrast and especially the satin finish on the oem ones. But I impulsively bought the black ones.

Mmmmm, perfect combo (same that I have on order, RR, red calipers, HP...) do the cops just follow you around waiting to give you tickets? That is what I am expecting here.

As to the topic at hand, can't tell if a chrome would look better vs the black. .

Cover them with some electrical tape just the face of the lug, Should give you the idea .

One wheel or one side, I know it sounds silly. A picture of someone else's car is not the same as seeing on you're own.

I wouldn't hesitate if my wheels were black, but since the wheels are lighter I like the chrome best. Thanks guys.

I really like the red paint! I like my orange but if I was to do over again it would be red with the Tremic. I ordered the automatic based on a test drive of GT w/M82.

@Jimmy Dean , I went to fill up my first tank of gas and there were 2 on motorcycles doing the same. One came up to me and said, "you need to slow down!" He was just joking, but it does attract more attention than usual.

@Nardly , I was thinking of getting orange at the time since it was available with HP and tremec, but I ended up getting the same color as my last car.
