12x1.5 any aftermarket lugs will fit as long as it has an acorn seat.

Well, maybe. While I agree that Advan wheels have 60* conical seats (which means that the shape of the lug-nut must be acorn/conical), the other issue is the diameter of the outer part of the hole. That picture makes the holes look tight, which means that the thread-starter needs what are called "tuner" lugs. Tuner lugs, if you don't know, have 60* acorn/conical contact areas, but are skinnier, especially where the socket goes on it, so that you can get the socket on the lug-nut (without damaging the fancy paint on the wheel) even inside the small holes.

The term "bulge" is a tad misleading. It only means that the contact section of the lug-nut is wider that the socket section. Yes, tuner lugs almost always meet this description, but so do some larger, acorn lugs.

Upshot, the thread-starter should be looking for "tuner" lugs, in particular, not any old acorn or conical lugs.

Nice choice on wheels. I recommend rays lugs or project kics.

Well it's not going to be any different than any other aftermarket lugs from rays, advan, muteki, etc. Those will fit any advan, volk wheels without any problem.
