          In that case I would rather not paint them black. I agree that they would look better with the cap off but ONLY when there are no additional lug holes than needed. In your case, if they don't look good painted black with the caps on then I would rather leave them unpainted and left in the wheel's original color. I understand you don't like the caps on no matter what color the wheels are. It's a matter of taste. What bugs the heck out of me are those remaining holes. They look so ugly with bolts on some holes and not on others. Well, different strokes for different folks.

              I like the way you're thinking but I think something like that is going to end up looking tacky. It would have to be something that actually looks like lug nuts to pull that one off. Good thought anyway.

                actually they look really nice like they are. My O.Z. wheels have the extra holes in them and I think that it just gives them more of a look.

                    heres the pics. i haven't washed it yet but i do plan on detailing it this weekend.

                    1st one is the rear of the lower control rod.
                    2nd is front of control rod.
                    3rd is rear trailing link.
                    4th is front sway bar endlink.
                    5th is the (undetailed)car

                    i still have to put the shifter,rear endlink,and sway bar bushings in.

                    1 warning for new people. unless you don't mind a rough ride,don't do these upgrades. it is alot stiffer. i love the way it handles now. the rear is still a little squirly but i havent finished the rear yet.
