Is there a way to put aftermarket lug nuts on the Z ? Adapters maybe ?

Nope. You're stuck with the stock ones unless you want to risk catastrophic failure.

What does that accomplish? They're a different color? Any weight savings would be negated by the adapters. Just have the stock ones powdercoated.

I would consider my first response to be constructive. There are no adapters to use aftermarket lugs. My question after that is completely legitimate. What, other than color, does running a set of aftermarket lugs do for you?

Its called: " I want something different than OEM"
Those lugs are ugly and i'd like to have the opportunity to choose what I want. Powder coat OEM lugs will look weird IMO |

Then make some adapters. There are none on the market. Right now, the only options are to color the OEM lugs or get aftermarket wheels so you can run aftermarket lugs. You can call that not being constructive, but it's a fact.

Powder coated OEM lugs look fine. I've done a few sets.
But if you're putting aftermarket lugs on stock SILVER wheels. It would look weird...

Just be very careful. A failure at speed could be fatal.
