Mann I'm lovin those red tuner lugs! And if you're planning on turboing it wouldn't the weapon R header be a waste of money?

 

Looking good so far man!

The red tuner lugs, did you get acorn style lugs? the only question I ask is because acorn lugs are not safe to use on stock style rims

 

why is everyone blacking out the tow hook squares? I think it looks kind of dumb, out of place. but everything else looks good.

curious about the lugnuts as well.

 

i dont believe that they are heres a link so u can check them out

Not bad. I also own a 8.0. I just don't like the tow hook or the black squares on the bumper. Also why are you going with black eyelids?

 

I dig the lug nuts, but what is the tow hook for?

 

mostly for show but it says its for "The accessibility of the tow hooks are for quick safe vehicle recovery in case of an emergency"

personally i like it

 

Are these the actual lugs you are currently running with the stock rims? If so I highly recommend going back to the stock lugs. The stock wheels are not made to accept acorn style lugs, as this could be a major safety hazard.

If you're not concerned about it then more power to you! Looks good anyways! Maybe consider returning the lugs and getting the stock lugs powder coated or getting some aftermarket wheels?

 

I was kind of thinking the same thing myself but didnt say anything so

^ X2

 

what can happen if im running these? whats the danger of it?

 

car looks awesome. maybe i should have waited a bit to get the RS8...i did want a red car (was going to buy a mazdaspeed3). But I like what i currently have too =P
I am not a huge fan of the little blacked out details around the car, but if you like what it does for the looks of your car, then that's all that matters. I know a lot of people like red and black combinations. and it matches the stock rims.

The danger of the lug nuts is likely just getting unscrewed on their own while driving, or snapping and having the wheels come off...the only thing i could think of lol.

 

The easily way of explaining it is that the rims won't seat properly to your hub making it easier for them to come off which in all reality you could lose a wheel driving down the road also it puts alot of stress on your studs which could snap them off and or bend them

 

I had those types of lugs on my old car with stock wheels and lost a wheel while driving. Just get the stock ones powdered

 

ugh i think i might just take my chances i've been good so far and they look too good

 

Its not really about you, think about others around you. Would you risk having a dangerous car that you like and put other people around you in harms risk?

I'm not your parent but you really should take these peoples warnings.

 

Your call your better off safe than sorry wont look good when your wheels in front of your car and your losing control

 

This right here is really all he needed to look at \/ but if he wont take someone elses warning, I just hope he doesnt hurt someone else for his ignorance. functionality>vanity

Hey guys christmas was good to me this year! I got the nia eyelids and my headunit, hid's still in the mail but heres a few pics of the car withe the eyelids on it






Also from the tone im getting from everyone i'll probably switch back to the other lugs when i get back from idaho next tuesday

Ill search around to see if i can find a safe way to run them on the stock rims also.

 

The black eyelids don't flow at all
