The only thing stopping me is they may clash with my color scheme.

So would you be a whore and would get them or a baller on a budget and won't?

Why the hell would you buy them? Small accessories like that are useless, plus, your car is red, right? It'll totally ruin your look... hahaha only a honda dude would even consider wasting 100 bucks on something this lame.

Uniqueness and some (brands) are made out of titanium. So they are extremely lightweight compared to a normal lugnut.

I always wondered why GA is so far behind the time. Because people here in the scene are so closed minded. If you look on other sites and car in other regions, they try new stuff and try to make their cars unique unlike here. :no: Most of the **** on here is half ass'ed and people don't pay attention to details. Also, everything is about speed this, speed that, and people here fail to realize that speed isn't everything. I got friends in other states that bust many people ass here in Atlanta, and would do it in style in a car with $3000 rims, a $5000 paint job, and $100 lug nuts.

As a whole, everyone needs to stop giving a damn about what other people think and start being themselves. The scene here would be a lot funner. :2cents:

So they are extremely lightweight compared to a normal lugnut. so the lug is made of titanium(with some brands) do they supply matching studs? if not. it's ok. i wouldnt personally wrap those lugs onto rusting stock studs. sorta like having a $5k cellphone and carrying it around in a sock. doesnt really make sense.

The issue here isn't trying new stuff it's justifying spending $100 on lug nuts that really won't do you any good nor will they look good on your car. If it was white or black I could agree with the appreance aspect but then you'd have to justify price when you could go down to auto zone and buy similar ones for $35.

Someone told you wrong speed is everything. Which is why I hate my car.

if you dont care what other people think then go buy the damn lugnuts and dont make retarted threads trying to justify your purchase of stupid ****. If the lugnuts are going on any of the cars in your signature it is going to look terrible anyways and basically be the biggest waiste of 100 dollars ever

this topic has me thinkin about my car again.....i dont like stock. last year i slacked HARD, buying nothing more than maintenance related things, and 1 impulse buy, which in itself wasnt bad or away from what i want, as far as the look with my car, just not in the correct order.

Basically, my car really near where I want it to be. I would say it's about 90% done as it stands, so there's really not much out there for me to do (beside change stuff that already been modded). Now I'm just looking at some details to make make it even more unique. Those lug nuts are out since I believe they would throw off the look (even tho I like).

and this coming from a cat who has halo headlights on a civic ok.

name whats wrong with halo's? plenty of honda's and any other cars have them. not to mention ALOT of hondas and other cars are factory with halo/projectors.

i look at it this way

- my headlights make a respectable difference in my car
- my headlights probably cost me less than your lugs will
- my headlights dont look like the rainbow sticker on the back of every gheys car
- my headlights serve a purpose of projecting light better
- those lug nuts cost more than most of my monthly bills, but still accomplish nothing
- those lug nuts do not hold the wheel on any better
- those lug nuts are not a weight reduction

but hey, on the bright side, i bet they add 5HP!

Really the determining factor is how much you are willing to spend. If I'm throwing down $5,000 dollars on set of rims, what's another $100 to make them stand out even more? On the other hand, if you're a Baller On a Budget then it would be asinine to buy those.

He's pretty right on point. That is something that I would only see a Honda owner buying, lolol. And I don't mean CRX. I mean the ever popular, everyone has one 92-up Civic owner. Newer Honda owners are quick to buy anything new for that car. I'd pass. You're CRX looks good. It won't with those on it. I would not consider spending $100 on lug nuts. Especially if they looked like that.

i think your wrong on the only a honda owner would want them. you wont ever see me with them, thats more like only a toyota owner, or maybe just a peon. he just has somethings wrong. i promise that if i see those on ANY 92+ civics or 94+ integras, that person will wake up one morning with them missing, if im feeling nice i will put some normal ones on. but honestly if they put those on to begin with they dont deserve to get the normal lugs back on. i dont know where people are getting all this honda owners are this and that and always do this.....

The only reason why I would spend extra money on lug nuts would be if they saved weight.

Lightweight lug nuts make a bigger difference than some think since it is rotating mass. However, there are many other things worth investing in before that.
