The stock 370 sport and G37S uses the same shank with washer lugs so you can use what it comes with to start with.

Finished product, at least the 1st wheel. Lots of masking time.

Flash makes it look a little more brighter orange than they actually are.

Flat with no taper where it meets the wheel? Sharif @ forged said the GTR is similar, but they still have some taper. This is the inside of the lug holes, notice how the seating surface is flat?:

The stock wheels look the same. There is a flat top and a flat bottom in the hole, yet the lug nuts still have taper at the end and a flat washer in the middle.

thanks!, thinking about it all, the lug shouldn't need to bottom out, as the washer against the wheel is what is holding it in place. Guess I didn't need the new lugs after all. Oh well.
