Lugs

Since I can not use Duraluminums, does anyone know of the lug dimensions I will need to search for a set of mag / flat-style black nuts that will fit

Stock lugs for sport wheels have a .793" diameter shank that is .616" long and they use a washer that is .108" thick. All the after market shank style lugs I've found so far have much smaller diameter shanks.

Thank you for the info. There just HAS to be someone out there that has a set of Black lugs that will fit the OEM 19" Sports package Rays!

I thought that when you get them powdercoated, and you attempt to torque the nuts onto your car, it cracks and chips them and looks horrible? Is this not the case?

I'd like to find some as well. I figured painting/powder coating the stockers would be ruined the first time you torqued them down. I hate having silver lugs on black wheels

you can find a good set of lugs that wont strip for less then $60...never mind that though, you should spend the time sanding and painting 20 lugs instead, that sounds like a lot of fun :P

powdercoating them will chip the edges when torquing, but not too bad. Normally, when I powdercoat lugnuts for people, we just do the top portion and leave the sides uncoated though.

Please tell me where you found some black mag style w/ washer lugs that will fit the OEM 19" Rays that come with the sports package.

Mike, I might just send you the nuts with my tow bar for now. I do not think I am going to do the JWT's just yet .. I am thinking of a slightly different theme for the engine bay .. which I hope to have done prior to Z Dayz.
