Now that I got the rims for the X the wife wants the calipers painted like my car. lol but not red like mine.

I did the calipers red and the brackets black on the SS. I still have 1/2 of the red duplicolor paint & 1/2 the black. I may do the calipers & brackets all black, or black brackets & silver calipers.

The X is blue. Any thoughts on the colors?

What did you get the rims at? I'm trying to find styles I like to get some for my xterra.

But the lug nuts were $70 from the dealer. @ wholesale from a friend who works there.

Yup, OEM lugs from the dealer. Nowhere else had the short ones I needed. All the aftermarket ones I could find were 1.4". The OEM's were 1"
