Default lugs for 2011 Rays Sports

Guys
I have 2011 sports Rays.
i wanna buy some new lugs.
I'm looking to buy shank style lugs.

I;ve heard that for stock rays you can only use OEM lugs, Is this true? or can I settle for aftermarket?
If I can then what are really good shank style aftermarket lugs on stock OEM rays

any input is appreciated

yah, there's a lug thread somewhere where one of the members found an adapter to use with aftermarket tapered lugs.

ive not tested them myself so check it out at your own risk.

true that!

actually since my nismo wheels are that hyper silver color, the factory lugs look

it's when you have the gunmetal nismo wheels and the factory lugs, and tpms valve stem.
did you guys know you can buy non-tpms black /gunmetal valves from rays and fit them on your nismo wheels?

it costed me $90 will install them next time around...

Default lugs for 2011 Rays Sports

1 build a "TPMS "bomb" to keep your light out
2 I buy lug nuts used off eBay super cheap. Like a buck a piece. (I have stripped a few DIY to over enthusiastic tightening, now I torque wrench em)
