I don't understand this either. Even looking at other forums seems like there is a significant demand for different lug nuts that work witht he stock wheels. Someone needs to contact muteki.

I think noone offers them because most people who change lugnuts also change wheels, and very few OEMs use our style of lugnut.

As to why Nissan uses this style lugnut on the 370 and GTR, its only speculation on my part, but they do offer more surface contact area so probably hold a little better. Either that or Mr K's grandson owns an odd shaped lugnut factory.

Is it safe to assume that over the last year (since the last post here), no one has released any colored lugs that fit the OEM wheels (Rays 19", specifically)?

that actually might look rather cool, in my opinion. two tone. you would have to be standing pretty close to them to notice though. :tup:

I'm still wondering this myself. :(

Could you powdercoat stock lugs? I'm assuming they would have to be sand blasted first.

Zcarman had a unique and cheap solution to this. ill see if i can track him down to post. he put a cap over the lugnuts.

I wouldn't mind putting caps/covers over my lugs, but they would have to look metalized... because I've seen some caps that are rubber looking and they just look stupid.

Could I use a GTRs stock lugs on my Nismo rims then?

What about these?

Black Bulge Acorn Lug Nuts

Your wheels would fall off.

You need something that look like this with the washer..

I was thinking about a cheap solution to this, but I was unsure of the mechanics behind it.

What if someone were to mill on a CNC some "adapters", that had a concave acorn area, and still had a flat part that also went into the wheel hole? So basically, you could use any aftermarket lug nug with this adapter, and the adapter would ensure a snug, tight fit. I couldn't imagine it would be hard to mill at all - if I still had access to a machine shop, I would love to give it a shot. Just use some billets of aluminium or something.

Here is a quick drawing of what I mean:

This would be one solid piece of metal, or it could have another washer so it can freespin like the stock ones.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. I completely forgot about lathes. This would be so easy, it's not even funny. :bowrofl:

Someone get this man a machine shop!

Haha, I noticed you're in South Florida, hello there!

I'm actually gonna look into this for us. I did 2 years of CAD/CAM in high school, and was also close with the teacher. As such, I had pretty much unlimited access to computer mills and lathes. If I could use the lathe, alongside just a rod of aluminium, this would be a walk in the park. I could procure sets of 20 at a time.

Unfortunately, it's summer, so that plan is out the window. :shakes head: I'm gonna look into local machine shops or something, at least until my university term starts up again in Fall - there is a machine shop on campus I'm sure I could get some access to.
