Looks like a lot of people on this thread are using aftermarket lug nuts. Anyone want to sell me their stock oem ones? I need 10 of them (for two wheels). PM me. Thanks.

If I like it as time goes by, maybe I'll get my lug nuts powder coated in red or black. Or just pull the caps off and leave them silver. I'm not sure yet, but I don't have much invested in the process at this point.

Good write up Sean, I assume that all these better brands use forged aluminum, idpl they are aluminum. As opposed to cast or billet, the later of which is the weakest form. Currently I'm running on VMS Billet aluminum lugs, which have been fine. My car is only driven in fair weather though, no telling what a few winters would do to them. Mostly purchased them for the color (Orange). Thinking about a new set of lugs and though I'd still like orange, they don't seem to be readily available. Maybe I'll go gunmetal. Thoughts?

Never heard of VMS, how is the color holding up?

Aftermarket chrome lugs for 370Z Nismo wheels
 
Okay I've read everyone's post but I cannot find a chrome aftermarket Mag-seat lug for my Nismo wheels. McGard say they don't make them which is weird because it came with a McGard wheel lock from the dealer. Can't find a Gorilla lug either. Everyone I find is a cone seat. Does anyone know a brand for us simple folk that just wants a better looking lug on his stock Nismo???

Thanks!!!

No such animal. Nissan used mutant lug nuts on the OEM wheels.

Want different lugs, get different wheels. :rolleyes:

You should also add McGard and Gorilla lug nuts to your thread, plenty of people run either and are a good option instead of paying $200 on a set of JDM lugs that don't offer you anyting else more than a fashion statement

You should also mention that the maxium torque spec for our lugs is 80 ft/lb and a torque wrench should always be used
Great Info - I Also Use GORILLA Lugs & Locks - OEM Rims Torqued To 85#...:tup:

Those are not the correct locks for stock wheels (Nismo, Sport, or Base). The only locks that work PROPERLY are the Nissan ones :twocents:

I can assure you those are not seated properly and could possibly damage your wheels or fail :ugh:

If you don't believe me, try torquing them down more. And then some more. The washer will bend because they don't seat correctly. Ask DEpointfive0.

How about these "Lock Nuts" on a 2010 Touring Roadster - Gorilla site says they will work...:confused::confused:
