You're setting yourself up for a major issue. Those look like acorn-style, not washer style like the oem lugs.

Those don't look anywhere near the same as OEM.



I'm not willing to take the chance on a) aluminum and b) tuner-style on mag-style wheels. Too many smart wheel guys here on this forum have posted in this and other threads that it's a bad idea. Having lost a wheel before on a boat trailer from sheared lug nuts, I know that it's a HUGE hassle. I think I'll just save the money and half-a$$ it. Maybe I'll rethink if these plastic caps just suck, but I'm thinking that from the distance most people will see them, 99% would never notice.

I hope you don't turn your wheel, ever.
You're asking for the holes of the wheels to break

At BEST it's a huge hassle. It could very well be the last thing that ever happens to you.

Hi guys, I have a question that I haven't found an answer for so far. I've got a 14 base model 370Z and I was wondering if I could use my base OEM lugs with the OEM Sport Rays?

If "Washer" type most likely the same.
