Anyone heard of these? I know there are tuner and splinedrivelug nuts but has anyone heard of ENKEI STYLE LUG NUTS?
I have a set of Volk Racing rims (made in 1992) and I am beingtold I need these kind of lug nuts.
See my site (click on sig) to see pics of my rims...

Exar-Kun, check out this thread (I have several pics and stuff):

I finally went into a wheelshop and got them to order in the lugnuts as shown in the 2nd-last pic on that thread. The so calledEnkei Style lug nuts (or "E-T/ULTRA" from Gorilla).
And the only way to get these wheels on is through the spacerwhich turns my 4 x 114.3 into a 4 x 100 bolt pattern which thevolks are. What's weird is the sticker on the Volk say 114.3.
I will also need short acorn nuts (as shown below) to secure thespacer to the hub:

so in short, you bought the wrong wheels for the car, and are forcing them to work. I'd sell them and get proper bcolt cirlce, hub cnetric and correct lug seated wheels for your car...
*shrug* its your ride though. I will warn you, you used spacers that not only place great stress on the hub and spindle, but alter the claping area vie bolt pattern modification, thats a bad combination dude, get good wheels, seriously.search around for why myself, smith, grant and others seriously dislike spacers.-chet

I am not forcing these wheels on using the spacers. Thesewheels came with the spacers when the original owner bought them. They were mean't for the wheels.
Might have been my poor judgement in noticing the bolt patternbecause I bought the wheels in Dec and didn't get a chance to trythem on. And the fact that the stickers on all the wheels read: 114.3 kind of convinced me of their bolt pattern.
I don't think there is too much to worry about. I am not exactlyputting serious power on these wheels. They won't see stressexcept for on the track which won't happen everyday.
Guess we'll see how things go. Worse come to worse, thesewheels will get sold off. I only paid $640USD for them with thetires and spacers.
