I digitized the Honda logo and had a graphics place cut me the logo in brushed aluminum vinyl. I put a layer of white vinyl on top of the oem. Then lay the logo on top of that and had a body shop clear coat the center cap. Looks awsome.

I think there are some aftermarket lug nuts that can't be used on certain oem wheels, but these have the tapered end just like my stock lugs. I asked and made sure they're compatible before I made the purchase. They fit perfectly.

Corrections....the seller has lied to me. Now that I'm going through numerous threads regarding aftermarket lugs and oem wheels. I carefully checked the lugs I bought against the oem and they are different. Aftermarket lugs are tapered and flat. Oem lugs have a bit of an arc on the taper not much, but you can definitely tell. I can see why this is a big issue with safety. Crap...I'm going to call them Monday and chew them out for lying to me. Why in the hell would a reputable shop tell me that I can use it on oem rims and or any honda oem wheels? I'm pissed now....they better refund my money.
