Ok, so the wheels I am going to be getting are black, and I want to get black lugs, but don't know what size I need. Anybody have any ideas?I tried searching, but came up short...

its a 60 degree cone seat i think... it depends on your wheels though... Think if you want an OPEN lug (meaning you see the bolt) or closed (like stock)

yes, all nissan lugs are 12 x 1.25.... DO NOT get 12 x 1.5 or they will strip!

Be care with how thick the lug nuts are. The stock lugs fit on my wheels, but bearly! Only a 13/16 thin wall socket can get them out of my rims!

I bought a 3/8 drive breaker bar with a 13/16 thin wall, fits right in the stock spot of the trunk

Thanks guys!

I am trying to find some black lugs that will fit, and I am also toying around with the idea of getting red anodized lugs because it would go with the red stripe on the wheels I want.

More questions...What is the difference between Acorn style lugs and Tuner Spline lugs? is it just the length? Do I need to use one over the other or is it just preference?
