If you have aftermarket wheels that use the tapered/conical seat lug nuts the ones from Gorilla are decent, they have "the system" that includes 4 locks in chrome or black, just be sure you get the 12x1.25 thread set.

Also McGard has some real nice sets in chrome, Rochester has them on his G.
Both of the above should be found on Amazon.com

If you are running OEM wheels your choices are really limited though.

Not 100% sure what the GTR wheels use, need to check the lug seat inside the wheel, if it's flat then you'd need OEM. Here's a black or chrome OEM gorilla lug nut in the OEM mag style.

It seems that #73128TBC is the only one that is available in black, and it's black chrome

Personally, I don't even run lug nuts. Weight savings.

OEM lugnuts for those wheels. Gorilla makes them, too. Here's a link from a quick search:

Gorilla® 12mm x 1.25 Toyota/Nissan Lug Nut from Brandsport Auto Parts (#GRLA-73128T)

You really running that GTR rear wheel on a G37 Sedan? I could see a square setup with GTR fronts maybe. But that deep dish... that's weird. Can't possibly imagine how the offset would work.

Here's a thread I started years ago looking for lugnuts. Like Brad said, I ended up with McGards.

Square setup. All fronts ftw. As for the OP QUESTION, GT-R wheels don't use oem lug nuts.. U have plenty of options available for these wheels. I am running R40 lug nuts.

Thanks for the clarity, it seems that the Rays have wheels that have both types in their lineup so it's hard to pin down

That setup you got going on is nice! Props.
I'm not a big fan of the wheel setup I got going on but that's what I got for now.. are you running 20x9 front and 20x10.5 rear? And what's your tire setup like

After owning for a while, would you recommend the McGards? Or given the chance would you buy something else? I know your extremely detail oriented and curious of your opinion.Thanks for your time, Matt.

3+ years later, removed and reinstalled each year because they're only used for the Vossens, and not during the winter. Each Spring, I polish them up, and use a little bit of lubricant so that the barrel continues to float freely over the seats.

So yeah, I'm still very content with this choice in lug nuts. They look great, and I appreciate the design that went into them.
