Which lug?

I ordered the HFP 16" honda rims for the fit from college hills honda. I love the design and color and there on sale!

I want to get myself an aftermarket set of lugs but I am not sure do I buy lug nuts made for OEM wheels or do I buy lugs with tapered ends for aftermarket wheels?

Thanks for the help!

Check MrLugnut.com or others but make sure you get lugnuts for the HFP Honda wheels from whoever you get them from. Do not use tapered seats if the HFP's are intended for Honda lugnuts.

Sucks that no one makes colored lug nuts for oem wheels. Kind of a bummer.

Will powder coating hold up to a socket using a torque wrench? or is it not even worth it?

I have not gotten a quote yet but how much could it cost to paint 16 lugs nuts. I also am unsure if I can get the purple I want not wanting to put a Easter purple on my rims lol

well you can mask off the sides where the wrench goes on so only the tops get paint, which the tops pretty much only show anyways.. just but the metalcast paint at napa its like 10 bucks
