oi! Sis - you're right! They look supper (even on a dirty car with dirty wheels and the is crooked )






And they look very nice with the 08 RED! I know, my smart always looks orange when I tke pics in the garage. But trust me, these nut covers look nice.

You know what? I know a lot of folks will think I'm nutz for this ... I really don't "get it". The nut covers highlight the lug nuts. What is the point? I really don't see the point. Clearly, it is purely aesthetic. But, what is the objection to naked lug nuts? To each his/her own.

Isn't that just like a man?


Well, sonny, naked nuts may be OK with you, but my Zippy understands the importance of being well accessorized!

I wish. It's operator error. I know it's easy, once you know the trick, I'm an old dog...slow learner, fast healer...

I remember when Dunerunner bought the yellow ones for his smart at the Prosser Rally. They LOOK really cool, but my first question was how easy are they going to be to get off once they've been on there for a few months and have expanded & contracted with the temperature changes? :>( I'm just thinkin' that if you ever need to take them off, it's NOT going to be an easy task! :>( For those that have a spare tire & kit, it would be really ironic (and sad) if you had a flat tire, and you had your spare, jack, etc., and couldn't get those things off your lug nuts without cutting them off or something!!! Just my 2 cents!!
