[QUOTE]Originally posted by 50 Deep: [QB] [b]Custom Lug Nuts[/b] The custom lug nuts for the GT350R platform are done. Measurements came out great and are flush front to rear. They do an excellent job of hiding the exposed studs. I will walk you through some photos and my thoughts. [b]Finished Products[/b] Here are some photos of the lug nuts after being coated with black oxide. They are freshly oiled so everything sticks to them. Recommended to oil them up every month or so with WD40 on a rag or some gun oil to add some extra shine if you want. I do like the coating and finish overall, although they will scratch if you drop or hit them hard with the socket. Good thing about these is a sharpie will fix any small mistakes you make. <img src="https://image.ibb.co/j4gsV8/Cusom_GT350_R_Lug_Nuts_1_2.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://image.ibb.co/bUCMOT/Cusom_GT350_R_Lug_Nuts_2_2.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://image.ibb.co/bFPeA8/Cusom_GT350_R_Lug_Nuts_3_2.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://image.ibb.co/jOYWq8/GT350_R_Lug_Nuts_15_of_15.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> [b]Exposed Studs Before[/b] Here are some photos of the car with the ZL1 Addons titanium lug nuts, and front studs exposed. <img src="https://image.ibb.co/fZgvHo/GT350_R_Lug_Nuts_10_of_15.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://image.ibb.co/mNfY3T/GT350_R_Lug_Nuts_11_of_15.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://image.ibb.co/mb94A8/GT350_R_Lug_Nuts_12_of_15.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://image.ibb.co/i3b6OT/GT350_R_Lug_Nuts_14_of_15.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> [b] Hidden Studs After[/b] <img src="https://image.ibb.co/ksdmOT/GT350_R_Lug_Nuts_1_of_15.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://image.ibb.co/f5Nrq8/GT350_R_Lug_Nuts_2_of_15.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://image.ibb.co/iqoaHo/GT350_R_Lug_Nuts_5_of_15.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://image.ibb.co/chjFHo/GT350_R_Lug_Nuts_6_of_15.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://image.ibb.co/eJb6OT/GT350_R_Lug_Nuts_7_of_15.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> [b]Conclusion[/b] I am happy with the product and how it turned out. It accomplishes the goal of hiding the exposed studs, and will blend very well with a dark colored wheel. Even with a lighter colored wheel it takes the focus off the stud and puts it back on the wheel. I much prefer not needing to put my deep socket so far into the lug nut hole and risking damage. I would encourage anyone purchasing a set to have them redone some custom way down the line. From my experience any time you have metal on metal the friction could leave a mark on the surface. If you drop a lug nut or hit it the coating may show wear. My personal idea to really tie it all together is to use some Shadow Black touch up paint to color the very tip of the stud so it matches with the end of the lug nut. In any case, let me know what you think. [/QB][/QUOTE]
