These are the only black OEM style lug nuts I have ever seen, but I do not believe they are any longer then yours. I have read of people cutting teh tops off teh stock nuts to accommodate longer studs, but I realize that is not what you are looking for.

You should probably just go back to the stock studs.
Cooltoy -> Your link caught my eye reading this post. I actually just received the black version of these lug nuts from Z1 and these are NOT the same size as the OEM lug nuts that I got with my Nismo wheels... in fact, they are about 1/16 of an inch in width and height SMALLER than the OEM ones. I was hoping they simply just shipped me the wrong ones but they seem to be advising that these are the correct ones for my wheel. I'm currently working thru this issue with Z1 having to send them pictures.

Doesn't anybody make colored lug nuts to fit our Nismo Rays???

...and yes, before you say it, I need to get myself a metric caliber tool.

I see. Good to know. No one has reported any issues with these in the past. I will keep that in mind. Sorry for the trouble.


There are these ones, but no guarantee you will nor run into the same issue. Maybe ask them to measure for you prior to ordering.

Or you can have your silver ones powder coated. That has been done before.


Or plastic caps.

Thanks CoolToy and no worries. Yeah, I'm a little surprised how Z1 can continue to sell and advertise these lugs fitting our Nismo Rays when clearly they are smaller and can be dangerous for people who use them. They fact that they fit the stud thread but are not snug against the wall of the hole of the wheel (like I mentioned off by 1/16" ) is troublesome. Not only doesn't it center on the wheel correctly (needless to say it can move around on the wheel ) but the wall thickness that fits around the stud is thinner and most likely doesn't have the same strength. (we all seen pictures of wrong lugs being sheared off ) In talking with their service dept and customer service I was promised a call back from them with these same concerns I share with the forum. I never did get a call back but I did get an email back with a prepaid RMA return and a promise for a full refund once received. I'm guessing they don't want to provide an explanation as this would show/prove liability... I do hope that they stop advertising / selling these fitting our Nismo wheels and pull them from the shelves.
