I just got this set a week ago: Gorilla: 20 Chrome Lug Nuts For Factory/OEM Nissan/Infiniti Aluminum Wheels | eBay

They are just like the OEM ones.

That picture really put things into perspective lmao, those look really good!! I just ordered some Rohana rc10 wheels. The extended nuts work well with those wheels.

hmm looking at the pics of the rohanas it looks quite flat so u might have to settle for regular tuner nuts. id prefer just the chrome action.

Chrome Muteki SR48 for me. Open ended. And a sr48 locking nut as well. My advice is go with anything other than aluminum lugs for safety. I'll put up a better pic in the morning. The pic doesn't do it justice. Aftermarket Lugnuts-photo879.jpg

Our OEM wheels MUST use the mag-style lug nuts, these include a washer and have a flat seat. Most aftermarket lug nuts have a tapered/conical seat w/ no washer. Those will dig into your wheels' lug mount and can damage the wheel or come loose and possibly cause a serious or fatal accident. Glad you asked!

I purchased these for my OEM wheels: http://zspeedperformance.com/370Z-G37-Black-OEM-Style-Lug-Nut-Set-20-Lugs-blacklugs.htm

Combined with some ebay centercaps, I think they look great!
