Can you post a picture of the whole car? I've been thinking of picking these up. How strong/reliable do they appear to be?

Tuner lugs are made for aftermarket wheels, the oem lugs are designed to be used with your oem wheels, messing with that is a waste of time , money and potentially safety, and to say it looks better, I mean we are talking about lugs right??

The aftermarket lugs were cheaper than the stock oem from Subaru, 50$ compared to 100. These lug nuts do actually look better, yes they are lug nuts...I don't care they still look better. Here is a pic showing what 60 percent of my lug nuts look like compared to the new aftermarket ones. They really do look better don't they ? :P Waste of time? it took me all of 20 minutes to switch the lug nuts... The seat of the aftermarket lugs matches the angle of the oem lugs so I really dont see the harm in it. Unless it is made by some inferior metal that im not aware of them I don't think I will be worrying about my wheels falling off anytime soon. I have a friend whos had aftermarket lugs on his oem rims for the past 4 years and he hasnt had any problem with it...and his car is a 12 second turbo civic broooo... I will keep you guys posted if any wheels or lugs fly off, but Im sure there really isnt a huge chance of all the lug nuts failing at the exact same time causing any unsafe situations. I've checked through all the lugs, re torqued them to spec, and all seems fine. |

I like it. To each his own. Besides, what mod actually ads value? Rims? Lowering springs? It's not pointless when your current lugs are rusting, gouged, turning black. I think that if any part of your car was experiencing these symptoms you would consider changing/upgrading them. |

Whats your state law regarding tinting? Did they get you for the rear window?
I'm somewhat lucky as I have a medical waiver for tint due to migraines, so I can use that as my get out of ticket free card |

NJ state law says no tint on fronts or windshield. The back and rear has no limit.
Did you get waiver from a general physician or eye doctor? |
