color lug nuts too ricey?

My wheel lock(gurilla from autozone) is scratching s*** out of my wheels.
So Im getting new lug nuts with better wheel lock.
Should I get colored lug nuts(red to match break)?
or is it too ricey?

I don't think they are rice ... especially since most of the better ones only come anodized in colors.

Be wary of cheaper colored lugs though. I got some black aluminium ones on eBay and after just 2 months or so they are all different colors. Somewhere between black, bronze and silver.

I don't think they are rice either. I'm actually considering getting some new ones since the ones that came with my wheels are open and I prefer the closed ones so they hide the lug bolts.

I was very close to getting red RAYS lugs for my car. But I opted to get the black ones for a more subtle/cleaner look.

Do it! I did black ones to match my black wheels. As long as the color scheme fits, it should all blend just fine.
