They look fine the way they are. If anything, maybe some gunmetal lugs from 5zigen would be cool but they're open-ended.

Needs more cowbell.

Colored lugs might look cool but that all depends on the style you're trying to go with. If you want to be more mellow, I like Izzy's idea about the open ended nuts. That would give it just a little kick. I would leave the centercap if it were me.

Sweet rims! I'm thinking a nice tint in addition to a dropped look would really suit your car and rims. Red lugs might be a bit of overkill with your already red calipers and lip. I'd drop it and tint it before playing with the lugs. Just my two cents tho, you gotta do what you like best!

i think they're hot, and the brake calipers compliment them nicely

Seriously I think the rims look just fine...

Sometimes it isn't what you do to the rims, but what you do to the car that sets the rims off.
Just need lip kit and maybe an inch drop and I guarantee you'll love them all over again.
