If you are getting aftermarket volks you need to use regular acorn lug nuts not the 370 washer ones so you will be fine with aftermarket lug/lock set. On the contrary you will not be able to use the stock lugnuts on your VOLKS.

Hey any of you guys got information on a 370z carbon fibre roof?? Not the Sunline racing one because that is an overlay and just adds weight and doesn't lower the center of gravity...I'm looking for a replacement for the the Z's roof. NO OVERLAYS!!

There is nothing out yet and I doubt there will be for this car. On cars like the Evo and STI it makes sense because they are such large roofs and carbon replacements can save tons of weight. Not to mention the number of people who build track STIs and Evos are HUGE compared to those who build track Zs. There just isn't a big enough market for a mod like that. As much as I would like to see one, I don't see it happening.

I have found one roof from Seibon, It is a roof and not an overlay, but they say it is made of fiberglass, which is pretty light, but not as strong as carbon fibre or steel for that matter. Check it out, see what u think...

SEIBON makes a roof cover (overaly) for the 350Z but I dont' think they have come out with any products at all yet for the 370Z.
