Hey guys,
so just ran into a little issue with a friends set of XXR 501 wheels in 15x8 and 4x100 stud patter. The Volk racing lug nuts we used don't fit into the holes on the wheels, and we tried using some 17mm ones which fit but you can't put a socket over it and screw it in. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a set of lug nuts to solve this issue, like inverted ones (not RAYS because that's too baller... $370 zzzzzzzz)
Here's a picture for reference:

They use 12mm hex lug nut which are cylinder type
Easy to find off ebay and at the same time buy a 12mm hex allen key 1/2 drive socket as the one the tyre shop sells alway round after time due rattle guns and incorrect use by user

Yeah, I thought it'd be those cylindrical ones like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Red-16pcs-Wheel-Locks-Lug-Nuts-Set-12mm-x-1-50-/250850616442?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a67dca47a
although that is 20 mm so it won't fit. I'm having trouble finding a cylinder one around 17mm or so.

Had the exact same problem with them rims. Spare parts sell them for under 50 bucks for the hex key nut. Fit perfectly and looks not bad.
