The rims I have require me to use the universal bolt pattern holes which are much slimmer than the regular. The only kind I have found that work are these:

I would love to have them in white but I can't find them anywhere that are this "skinny" style to fit my rims. I would powdercoat them but even that would make them too thick to fit. If anyone can find others or has any suggestions please help out.

I have to use the universals as well, and TBH I just use the set of Gorillas that came with them from Discount Tire Direct. They are TINY. Im sure you could find them on their site. Unless you are planning on going the $150/set route.

EDIT: Im pretty sure the ones I have are in the top row of this link.

Definitely trying to stay in the ~$50 range. Ill check them out now, do they give color choices or is there enough room to get them powdercoated/painted?

Not sure if you get a notification off my edit. Check the link, no white. Not sure what kind of clearance you need, but I dont think I would be able to fit them if they were powdercoated.

Edit again: Im being an idiot, you definitely cant powder or paint them because they all use a key.

Ya that's definitely not gonna work. Just emailed the seller on Ebay from the link before to see if there is anyway to get them in white. Other than that I think I'm out of options I've looked everywhere.

I'd say any color would work well with your setup, it would stand out a lot considering all you got going on right now is black and white. Neochrome or gold would be BAUS.

Ya I'm strictly black and white right now lol. I'm not a fan of neochrome. I've considered throwing a bright color into the lugs, but i'd really prefer white.
