Got the new summer wheels on just in time for the winters to go on tomorrow:icon_mad: Still not sure on chrome lugs or black. Worried the black paint will eventually flake off on the painted McGards.

I have Black McGard lugnuts and they haven't chipped. I use them on my summer and winter wheels. :lol:

Those of us still breathing through the VF40 don't drive fast enough for wheel damage!:lol:

It looks unanimous, black lugs it is.

The black McGards on both the LGT and Forester have never had any paint chip/flake off, so you'll be fine. I've had the set on the Forester for about ~3.5 years. :)

is it your 300ZX in the garage? Looks like the twin turbo one, right?

Looks great! Hope you enjoy them. You'll need to get a bit more negative camber on those back wheels. -1.5 worked on the WRX.

Multi-link rear on the LGT, no camber adjustment in stock trim.:icon_mad:

That picture was taken on Ion springs with stock shocks/struts. I just swapped in Tokico adjustables and JDM specific Ions, but no new pictures because the prodrives are now in storage along with the Z for the winter.:icon_mad:

Thanks. The spoiler is the Subaru JDM spoiler. I bought it from AVO last year, but its nolonger on their website. I believe RBS still makes a fiberglass replica called the V1.
