Competition grey wheel owners in here please
I just ordered a set of competition grey wheels that I will be putting on my silver Z (2007). I did a search and it appears that the comp grey wheels came from the factory with chrome lug nuts.

I have black chrome lugs for my black wheels. You could have your lugs powder coated- you would have to be more careful in removing them etc.

House of Wheels is running a special for $995 OE comp grey wheels. I can't wait as I think they look awesome on a silver car.

I think the chrome nuts look good, they match all the other bolts on the caliper and rotor.
