Subaru Pearl Blue lug nut
 
Does anybody with a Pearl Blue BRZ know which Lug Nuts match Subaru's pearl blue?

I am finding lots of blue options, can anyone confirm what blue (if any) matches pearl blue?

Do [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Muteki-32926UP-SR35-Thread-Closed/dp/B00AKFBAU4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433881281&sr=8-1&keywords=blue+lug+nut"]these linked Muteki[/ame] lug nuts match perfectly? Or [ame="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2/177-6280940-0488262?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=blue+lug+nut"]any of these?[/ame] These can be found cheaper elsewhere, but for simplicity I used amazon's selection.

Which blues did you buy and where did you buy them?

I have those Mutekis on my car, I think they're a decent match.

Got them from FT86Speedfactory.

any of those colored lugs will start chipping after the first time you take the wheels off and put them back on. i got black one and they starting chipping pretty quick.

The STI lug nuts (McGard made) posted by Krayzie should not chip away from all the reviews I've read. The actual color is on the tip. I have the gold ones with no problems so far.

I have the STI security lug nuts set also by McGard (gunmetal color all around to match my car and wheels, I think the non locking version only comes in blue / gold / black on the top) and they look like brand new after 18 months and plenty of mounting. Just make sure you don't use an air gun as that will wear down the splines. They also have a coating to resist rust. TRD sells this gunmetal set without locks.

Did you pay like $300+ for them? I can't imagine spending that much for lug nuts.

Yea but I expect them to last a stupidly long time (I run them year round so I'm hoping to get my money's worth).

Once you've seen a beefy stock lug nut from Germany, you will find these tiny stock Japanese lug nuts weak sauce. :D

That's a shame to hear, makes sense when thinking about it though. We generally avoid trying to scrape our paint.

This is perfect, thanks

Yeah that is how I feel as well. $300+ its half the price of my rims, for the lug nuts only.
