Rota Torque Wheels are here!!
I Need help everyone that has purchased these wheels. I got a set of lug nuts from an auto zone (or something) they were able to be installed but they are still too big to fit anything around them without scracthing the wheels. What lug nuts did everyone use for these wheel? PLEASE I NEED IMMEDIATE HELP and I need to get them by tomorrow.
Thanks for the help

Most tunner lugs will work. I had no problems with mine.
If you look at the pictures above, you'll see that my lugnuts are also very close, but the key they give you with them is very thin walled and works fine. The other option is to get the lug nuts with the socket head hole that you need a big allen wrench for them. They are very common, have you tried your local tire/wheel shops? Also, Pep Boys or some other autoparts should have them as well as any Nopi store. I'm sorry you are having such a hassle. If I had known, I'd sent you a set of lug nuts from here. If you are worried about a flat, maybe you could take a can of fix-a-flat for an emergency or better yet, during your drive see if you can connect with a place where they'll take care of the problem. Another option would be to get a thin wall socket to fit those lugs you have. The wheels are made with enough clearance for a variety of lug and socket combinations, but they wont work with some fat lugs and standard sockets
Snoop had his mounted at a different place than I did but he also had success with the lug he got.....

thanks everyone for the quick responses. i went to a local tuner shop and they sold me gorrilla lugs that have the allen key hole. They were not cheap though...60$ with the tool
anyways i discovered that the lugs i had on there can be removed with a 21mm spark plug socket. it fits as close as you can get...now i just have to be careful when i remove the other ones that i dont scratch the rims...and then install the new ones
....and then replace my rear pads...that is what sparked this whole situation cause as of yesterday the indicator on the pads started to rub the rotor under breaking and i am going to the jersey shore (LBI baby) on saturday so i have to be able to remove the wheels to change the pads. FYI i ordered ferado DS2500's from raceshopper.com for 165$ for set of front and 69$ for set of rear. and they are overnighting them to me today and will get them by 3pm tom.
thanks again for all the help
