Oh, they're lug nuts...

I thought Rochester was going ad hominem on us for a minute.

It keeps coming back to the hacksaw... LOL.
"We cannot manufacture anything to that spec. Also if you hacksaw it, it wound thread on the whole way."

Um. OK then. God forbid we wound the thread.

Those Project Kics are starting to sound more and more reasonable, aren't they?

Ah, no. He's looking for mag seat lug nuts.

xpcgamer, how about these? 12x1.25 Black Mag Style Lug Nuts

Also, it seems Cragar makes similar nuts. Wow... Cragar. Haven't heard that name in 30 years.

Nice but they look so "American" like they would be clamping down some Weld Drag wheels on a Nova.
Found these but now what am I going to do for a lock?

Wait a second. Am I using the wrong lugs for the car? Here Black Betty says the 19" OEM 10 spokes are a 60 degree seat? I have been using the Mag Styles from my stock 17". Jeeze now I'm freaked out.

That should be edited (and I just did), ALL OEM Infiniti wheels are flat shoulder (or mag style) seats that use the flat seat lugs nuts w/ washers.
If you look at this link w/ the pic on zoom you'll clearly see the flat lug nut seats (2014 on top, earlier coupe 19 on bottom), sry for the freak out

$425/each? Yikes! I think that's what I paid for my Vossens.

Although I suspect those OEM Enkei's are a much more sturdy rim.

Nah...I ran into the garage and removed a lug to examine the rim and lug. Its a Mag seat for sure. Guess i am stuck with a chrome lug for now.
