Jasper Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Got these on Craigslist for $50. Going to clean them up, paint the mesh to match my 510, and polish the lip. What kind of lug nuts do these take? I read somewhere a while back that wheels like this took the 280zx style lug nuts, just trying to make sure. A rockauto part number would be super helpful. I had bought 16 stocker style lug nuts a week ago before I realized they took different style nuts. P.S.> I assume these are Appliance only because the center cap has a weird stylized "A" on them. Says "Japan" on the inside of the wheel, along with some other stuff. 14 inch. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 they use a special size shank lug. you can buy short and long shank but the appliance shank is in the middle. so you can get long shanks with extra thick washers most of the time. Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 or do it right and get the long ones and chuck them up in a lathe and cut em down to size .... 1 Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 call cost less auto parts, there $1.28 a peice. Quote Link to comment
Jasper Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 The lug nuts from my 240z seem to work. The 240z wheels are just some Shelby slotted mags. Are the Appliance wheel lug nuts really that special? Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 there just not a standard length shank. Iv tried to buy them new, some place still had them listed but none where actually available. Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 dont do this: but ive used regular steelie lug nuts on iron cross mags for a decade, not a problem so far, other than a four way wont fit, gotta use a socket, and it will shape the shank area to where a propper lug will no longer work.

DaBlist Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Ebay has more types of cheap, new, shanked lugs than you can imagine. It's just using the right key words to find the right ones. Quote Link to comment
Interrobang Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Definitely get the med shank lugs w/washers.These http://www.ebay.com/itm/16-LUG-NUTS-WASHERS-12MM1-25-APPLIANCE-4-LUG-WHEELS-NISSAN-DATSUN-ROTO-7906-/200847452357#vi-content look right, but aren't exactly what I got for my meshies. Have fun polishing. Quote Link to comment
Jasper Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I think I'm going to go to the junk yard and get some ZX lug nuts. I feel like as long as the shank is the right diameter, the length is unimportant here. Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Don"t most junk yards pull the wheels and toss the lugs into the scrap bin? Seems easier to order some new ones and not that much more money. Plus no flaky chrome and rust. Quote Link to comment
Jasper Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Easy is going to cost between $30 and $100 dollars. Most local yards, if they pull the wheels off, end up leaving the lug nuts on the driver side floorboards, at least most of the time. I'm guessing the pricing will be around 50 cents a piece.

DISLEXICDIME Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I got mine for 3 a piece with the washer from les schwab Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 ZX lug nuts are narrow. Appliance lugs are not special. ZX lugs are. You wont get the designed fit with the ZX lug in the Appliance wheel. Quote Link to comment
