Default Lug nut colour

Looking at getting a new set of wheel nuts when I purchase a new set of wheels. Obviously black is a pretty safe choice but was thinking of maybe bronze or blue. Any one got an opinion.

Car is black 05 sti, wheels are also black. Brake callipers are standard brembos.

Nobody cares what colour you get. They are wheel nuts.

Also, there's a 1000 threads on here I couldn't give a shit about. Although I don't waste any of my time announcing to the forum (for likes) about how I don't care about them.

Albeit poorly written, it was just intended to quickly get some opinions, make a choice and move on.

Why do you need other people to make a choice for you? They are wheel nuts. It's not like someone will see you drive past and think 'shit. That car would look so much better if it had gun metal wheel nuts not shadow chrome'

Because they are the most trivial of things. Wheel nuts. A good way to blow $180 on a pointless addition. But buy whatever colour you think you need.

On your point of a good way to blow $180, its not really that pointless. The ones currently on are pretty rusted and rounded. 1 of the locking nuts was so threaded I needed to smash a socket over it just to get it off, not to mention the old threads. So I need a new set anyway. Considering wheels are the only point of contact to the road, I'd rather mine stay on.

Secondly, I had 8 hours to kill before I could order so I figured hey wonder if there's some ridiculous perth-wrx unspoken & unwritten law about wheel nuts (amongst the other cult-like opinions).

But apparently the first rule about wheel nut colour, is don't talk about wheel nut colour.

Slow day in the office lads?

Similar to Brembo would work well, or have you considered neo-chrome?

*Wheel nuts

Yeah only came across them before whilst having a search, actually don't mind them. Kind of looks like galvanising.
