Looks like you got your wheels from ATL - Looks great!

BTW you can buy a set of black lug nut caps on ebay or on the web, inexpensive and looks great- they just push on over the factory lugs. Keep in mind though there is no cap available for the single OEM security bolt.

Has anyone used these yet? Any issues with them falling off?

I assume you have to take them off before you start wrenching on the lugs. Can you just pull them off with your fingers?

I had mine lugs powdercoated, but they're starting to look a little worn now.


Oh and my vote goes for powdercoated calipers. Although the OP did a great job with the paint, I just like the idea of having the whole caliper (front and back) covered. Part of my OCD I suppose I have had my calipers done for about 3 years now and the PC is holding up nicely. Unlike my PC'ed exhaust tips...

Nice!!!! The first one in the series FTMFW


Eli, what do you suggest for deep cleaning PC'd calipers? Mine are a mess. I think I baked in some dirt from a couple track type events.

To be the honest I'm no the best person to ask regarding Powder-coat work. I do hard-baked finishing with a industrial clear. If you had the finish I provide I'd tell you to clean as you would the hood of your car. Rubbing compounds and polishing to bring them back to a bring shine... But you have PC, I don't know how that will effect the coating you do have.

Good Luck SC DD,

-Eli
