I was looking into getting some wheel locks and stumbled upon a full kit of black lugs. I've always wanted to add a touch more black to my car, but I'm thinking this will look goofy.

Your thoughts?

Yes

I have black lugs on standard C5 wheels - I don't think they look bad.

Black lugs for black wheels only.... Inner of course. If you have black with a polished lip your good

I ran black lugs on my stock painted rims when I had my '00. I thought they looked good.

Yes I would think that it would look goofy.

I lost one of my stock gray lug nut covers from my polished aluminum wheels so I was going to order some chrome ones, then saw the blacks and thought I'd try them. My vette is a MY coupe and while they looked OK, they would look better with more black to set them off. I think if I painted the calipers black it would work and I may wind up doing that some day.( I noticed that the stock gray ones matched the stock gray calipers) I wound up ordering the chrome covers and they look better. I'll try to take some pics of all three options tomorrow and post them for you but Unless your vette is also yellow, I'm not sure how much help it will be. What color is yours?

I wanna get in on this

Black lugs should be fine. I'll be doing the same on mine in a few days. Look into McGards lugs, a little pricey, but they should hold up well against corrosion, chipping, and flaking.

Finally remembered to take the pics. Here are the three options:

Stock gray



Black



Chrome




Sticking with the chrome for now. May paint the calipers black and go back to the black at some point. Black out lights would also make the black lugs look good I think. Hope this helps a little.

They will look fine.

I'm not always a fan of black wheels, but I always say it's got to be done right on the right car.

This is done right!

I think they are the 2nd best looking color.

Wow. That looks surprisingly decent!

I have them on stock C5 Z06 wheels and they look perfectly fine.

GK

Happen to have any pics? I'd love to see them on Z06 wheels.

didn't think I would like the black lug nuts on non black rims but looking at a few of the cars posted it looks good

If your stock lug nuts are either chrome or the stainless capped version just use a sharpie to black them out to get an idea how they will look, if no good just remove the black.
