Hi - I just swapped my stock 20" split five spoke for 20" rotors with a 35ET. I just noticed (maybe I just wasn't paying attention when I had RS5 rotors on my S5) that the lugs are so darned ugly. And cheap looking.
I did a quick search but can't find an answer: are there lug nuts out there that have nicer looking heads?
I will be running a 5mm ECS spacer on front and 10mm on rear...so needs to be the proper length.
Thoughts appreciated.

Not really. That's why I have always done a stud conversion... try Ringer-racing.com or supremepower.com for studs... then find whatever lug nuts that suit you.

I should add that I felt the same about my stock lugs when I put my summers on and decided to pick up some tikores. They're being machined as we speak. Can't wait!

I always do a stud conversion as well. So much easier to switch wheels, especially when dealing with spacers. Trying to line up spacers and use lug nuts is a pain. Plus you don't have to mess with which size lugs to get as long as studs will handle all spacer sizes you need.

Here is my stud conversion with some black nuts. Car is raised in this photo.

I felt the gorilla lug bolts I got were very high quality and looked nice. They come in chrome or black. Or you can buy various caps if you like.
