Yellow Lug Nuts? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Let me just preface this post with a little "I'm kind of a noobie" disclaimer.

Anybody ever seen yellow lug nuts for sale? I was thinking they might look good on a whiteout with very dark or black wheels. Just a little splash of color. I've not been able to find any that weren't gold or more orange-ish though. I have a friend who has done a lot of anodizing in the past, I'm thinking of trying to re-anodize a set of lug nuts yellow. Anyone have any experience with that sort of thing? Or can direct me to some yellow lug nuts?

Anodize yellow is going to look gold or orange every time. Yellow is more a matte color, youd have to paint or powdercoat I think.

I suspected that might be the case... I feel like a powdercoat wouldn't hold up to having the wheels removed from time to time though. Also I'd imagine that powdercoating would be thicker than anodizing, which might make it tough to get the socket onto the lug nut.
