GT350R - Aftermerket Wheel Lug Nut Solution

[J_Maher_AMG]

These look amazing, any chance you will be producing a set to fit the OEM carbon wheels? Or would the fronts only need a set of the rear lugs on them?

Yes! Is just a matter of building you 20 of the smaller length ones. That will be next

These will work on the non-R version as well, but I will be releasing a set specific for the standard GT350 here soon.

I have to advise you that the measurements on these lug nuts are based off our Signature Wheels with the drop cup center. Not 100% sure how they will match up on other brand wheels, and they will need to be built to accept the OEM sized lug nuts.

Hey 50,
Let me know what set I need for this set-up on my GT350. These wheels will fit something in the 25-26mm diameter at the cone. As you can see the front lug is quite a bit deeper as you know.

Based on what I am seeing our lug nut setup will look much better. The tears won’t stick out as much, and the fronts will stick out enough to be even.

I'm in for two sets if available one black one silver.

This batch is currently only available in black oxide. Let me know if you still want two

Nice work on this, T....great work as usual!

Just wanting to clarify for myself and everyone else, these likely won’t fit wheels with small diameter holes, like the 6GR, correct?

just one set in black please.

Correct. If the wheel requires a smaller "tuner" lug nut or has a smaller than OEM diameter these will not work. One benefit is you no longer will need a super deep impact socket to access the lug nut. The more common and thinner sized socket will work.

Custom Lug Nuts
The custom lug nuts for the GT350R platform are done. Measurements came out great and are flush front to rear. They do an excellent job of hiding the exposed studs. I will walk you through some photos and my thoughts.

Finished Products
Here are some photos of the lug nuts after being coated with black oxide. They are freshly oiled so everything sticks to them. Recommended to oil them up every month or so with WD40 on a rag or some gun oil to add some extra shine if you want. I do like the coating and finish overall, although they will scratch if you drop or hit them hard with the socket. Good thing about these is a sharpie will fix any small mistakes you make.

Exposed Studs Before
Here are some photos of the car with the ZL1 Addons titanium lug nuts, and front studs exposed.

Hidden Studs After

Conclusion
I am happy with the product and how it turned out. It accomplishes the goal of hiding the exposed studs, and will blend very well with a dark colored wheel. Even with a lighter colored wheel it takes the focus off the stud and puts it back on the wheel. I much prefer not needing to put my deep socket so far into the lug nut hole and risking damage. I would encourage anyone purchasing a set to have them redone some custom way down the line. From my experience any time you have metal on metal the friction could leave a mark on the surface. If you drop a lug nut or hit it the coating may show wear. My personal idea to really tie it all together is to use some Shadow Black touch up paint to color the very tip of the stud so it matches with the end of the lug nut. In any case, let me know what you think.

Put me down for a set; tapered ends, silver/chrome preferred, or some other light colored, natural finish.

This initial run is only available in black oxide brother. When a second batch is made I will look into other finishes, but I do not know when that will be exactly.
