So I have a 14 Nismo, stock wheels. Bought and installed Z1 15mm hub centric spacers with included extended ball nose studs. In order to get the lug nuts on, I had to basically grind the thin metal caps off of the OEM lug nuts. I am completely OK with that. HOWEVER. A few of my lug nuts had been replaced over time with NEWER OEM lug nuts, which don’t seem to have the thin metal caps. So temporarily I have a few aftermarket lug nuts which don’t match my OEMs and are not optimal.

I have tried finding the original OEM lug nuts that have the thin metal cap from every parts store you can think of. I’m thinking the manufacturer has switched to the newer style because everyone sells the newer solid stainless steel ones which the caps cannot be ground off of.

My question is this: does anyone have their OEM lug nuts (which I know existed on ‘14 and prior cars) with the thin metal caps that can be removed? It would be noticeably less shiny than the newer style ones and when you tap on the end it almost feels hollow.

If you have these lug nuts and are willing to part with them please let me know.

ALTERNATIVELY, I could find a set of extended studs that are exactly 15mm longer than stock, and then buy a whole new set of completely OEM lug nuts, new or old, and it would all be kosher.

Sorry for long post but I’m all ears for other ideas.
