What lug nuts should I get for my new wheels?

I'm personally a big fan of the Muteki lugs.

Not me. I bought a set of red ones and the lacquer was scraped off before I knew it. Maybe the chrome ones hold up better.

With regard to aluminum lug nuts, I bought a set of NRG 700 series orange forged aluminum lug nuts. They use Al7075 T6 aerospace grade aluminum and so far I have encountered no problems.

True confession: I bought them for the color. They are ridiculously expensive and beyond appearance they appear to offer no additional value.

Really? I'm surprised. I have a set of black open lugs and red closed lugs and neither have chipped or flaked at all. Maybe I'm just lucky, or the opposite for you?

What's wrong with Gorilla lug nuts?

I once met the man from Nantucket. he paid me 50$ to sleep with his wife.

so i took his money, ordered 50$ worth of tequila, the bartender gave me a bottle. i drank it all with the man then broke the bottle over his head. The bartender asked me why i did that. I said "well you must not know, the man from Nantucket is married to the bearded lady"

It's pretty much the very first song played in Initial D.

Still, I'll look up NCS. The thing is, it sounds like one of those royalty-free channels where I have to jump through hoops to download a single song. I'm not a fan of those.

Seriously? You're trying to download music for free, and you're complaining about what you have to do in order to get that music for free. Back in my day, I had to borrow cd's from friends, or hope that what I downloaded from limewire wasn't a virus/porn/bill clintons voice saying "my fellow Americans"

Just torrent that shit and be done with it if you're not gonna buy it.
I think I'm one of the few people that still buys CDs.

Just remember if you do though...

Yes, I recommend you pour it directly into the toilet for best results. Most of the time it tastes like pine sol.

(Seriously though Bombay Sapphire is good or Beefeater if you want something extra Gin-y. That's a word.)

I recommend skipping the gin and the tequila and drink something that tastes good.

Example:

If I wanted to have a smokey taste in my mouth, I'd take home the smoker from the bar.
