I'm in the same spot as you right now...ZX wheels needing lug nuts.

I've narrowed it down to

70-116 Short Mag .550

70-117 Standard Mag .750

That $8 a piece for their stock replacements is rediculous! $128 for lug nuts- yah right!

My Victoria British... with those Gorilla Lug nuts and Wheel locks...

are $4.95 for what says (4) REQD... so i don't know if that means you have to buy 4 at a time, or for 4 lugs nuts it's $4.95??

The gorilla lug nuts are $4.95 for 4 nuts. 4 reqd. means 4 package to complete the car. Look just above that in the Wheel Component section at Alloy Wheel Accessories part # 66-003 Lug Nut, Alloy Wheel, 240-280, '70-'83, Req'd (16), $7.95!

Highway robbery brother!

Hey Prox,

I just found this...

"you MUST use the special short-shank Nissan lug nuts and washers or you will RUIN your wheels. These can be purchased from your Nissan dealer (Nissan Part # 40224-R4670), and list for $7.65 each"

...at this site http://kmhafer.datsun510.com/wheelFAQ.htm

I never realized that they were different until this thread. I have some and here are the measurements (in inches) Dia .750 Lenght of shaft including washer .650 washer thickness .120 washer dia 1.180 OAL 1.625 this btw is for the acorn style. For reference one that I have from another after market wheel is: dia .685 ! length .590 washer .125 washer dia 1.090 OAL 1.6 So you can see there is quite a difference and using a "standard" aftermarket one could sure cause some problems!

I didn't think you guys would have any problem finding them. Out here in California, or at least around my area, the are everywhere in the local self service junkyards. There on any ZX, 80-84 Maxima, Z31, etc. with factory aluminum wheels. If you want, I can go get some. They'd be much cheaper than anything you've posted here. Like maybe 10-15 bucks including postage. They usually just include them in the price when buy wheels or just throw them in when you buy other parts. I'd just have to wait for a break in the rain.

Yeah, I've got my own theory as to why the yards around here don't have them...

When a car comes in with nice wheels on it they yank them off and tend to drop the nuts on the ground, If you go to any of the yards around here you always see a bunch of lug nuts in the dirt... very common. This one fella told me that even if he did have them they would be between 40 and 50 bucks. Apparently they know what Nissan is getting for them.

I see you have retracted your bid. Great, that put's me back as having the high bid! But, I too have found a set already ROFL Oh well. Maybe someone else will jump in, still 5 days left.
