The don't have any mcgards in stock, only work RS in blue for $200 if picked up.
The guy said if you use rattle guns on any of the nuts that they'll scratch, and said that theres no difference between the quality of work, rays and mcgards, and that they're all pretty good.

G88 work RS for $150 is looking pretty likely

I never use a rattle gun on any wheel nuts other than standard ones and the WORKS scratched on the edges. Mcgards never did.

+1, I've always used a torque wrench and after time they do get a bit scuffed around the edges, but no colour loss.

Wheels are on, post-fl tail gate garnish is on, full led interior done.
I ordered some lug nuts from G88 so i should see those next week.

I need some centre caps, whats the best way to approach that? just want plain black...

I'll take some decent pictures soon.

Yeah i don't know, i like it! You can't see it on certain angles because of the reflection. I think it breaks it up nicely. Theres chrome on the roof rails and tail gate garnish too.

Maybe i'll wrap it so its not permanent
