Spiked Lug nuts
« on: October 12, 2014 - 06:45:35 PM »
Been seeing these alot on big rigs recently.

I thought they might look pretty cool sticking out of the rallye center caps.

What do you think? Cool or not?

I vote not.  That would remind me of Wacky Racers and Dick Dastardly's spiked wheels.

Sticking out too far past the center cap wouldn't look very good.
Sticking out a 1/2" to 3/4" might be the right look.
