Nice, are those black lugs in the rear or just caps?

Those are the black caps. They came with the lug nut kit from SLP.

Looks great! I used to have a set of those wheels on my old Monte. I wound up painting the spokes with Duplicolor graphite paint and kept the lips polished - looked pretty good IMO. Might be something you want to try in the future? :)

That brake package really looks solid. The factory brakes are OK, but the rear discs suck. Poor design as the emergency brake hardly holds. I would like to add an 1LE set of brakes someday on my Bird.

I have that duplicolor paint in my garage. I was going to use it on my old wheels. I may have to try it someday.
