Rays Duraluminum lugs

It's hard to say from the photos. The stock Rays wheels use what is called a 'lug centered' wheel, which means the lugnuts center the wheel when they are tightened.

It's hard to say from the photos. The stock Rays wheels use what is called a 'lug centered' wheel, which means the lugnuts center the wheel when they are tightened. These look flat on the back which means that they are intended for a 'hub centered' wheel, which means the wheel centers itself on the hub when installed and a flat lug nut is required to hold the wheel in place.

Unless you can get more information from the seller or a better picture......I would say to pass on these.

I found some more pictures of them and confirmed that they are a cone style. Either way, you're right, as we can't use a cone or flat lugnut on the stock Rays.
