Thanks in advance for helping me out with this!

I'm looking at some new wheels 16' Black Superturismo GT's (when they become available from Tire Rack). I would like to get red lug nuts to go with them (Gorilla Automotive). What size do I need and does anyone have pictures of black wheels and red lugs?

Unless you've installed a stud conversion on your car, it doesn't use lug nuts - it uses lug bolts. If you want to use nuts, you'll need to install studs on your car.

You can get 14mm x 1.25mm studs (which is the size your car takes), but I don't think you'll be able to find red nuts in that size. 14mm X 1.25mm is a *really* weird size, and I think MINI is the only company that uses it for their lug bolts.

Your best bet would be to go to Texas Speedwerks (www.txwerks.com) and get a set of conversion lugs from them. You need the ones that are 14mm x 1.25mm where they screw into the hub, and then neck down to 12mm x 1.5mm. If you look at the gorilla nuts page in your post, almost all of those nuts are available in 12mm x 1.5mm size.

 

ScottiRiqui: Thanks for the great info and quick response! I'm going to check out the stud conversion.

I still would like to see if anyone has pictures of red bolts on black wheels.
