rays lugnuts will not fit your style of rims. the holes on your wheels are too small for the lugnuts too fit.

the ones you use are sometimes referred to as barrel nuts. you use the allan key that goes INSIDE the nuts to lock/release them, where as normal lugnuts(oem/rays) have the socket set that goes OUTSIDE/AROUND the nuts to lock/release them

long story short. they will not fit

^ wouldnt the Long rays nuts fit? or is it the same shit?

**zco** · 26-06-2007 03:07 PM

no. rays long nuts arent slimmer than the standard rays short ones. they
re same size with an extension ontop of the short nuts.

** bump ** this 2 yr. old thread instead of starting new one.

I cannot think what colour lug nuts suit bronze rims.... ?? Anyone have any suggestions? Any colour I think of clashes with bronze.

gunmetal...grey

or Project KICS R40 in titanium...

**NightKids** · 10-03-2009 02:02 PM

Oh yes gunmetal, excellent suggestion.

Problem is hard to find gunmetal lugs, a lot come in that gay chrome colour

**Crapdaz** · 10-03-2009 02:11 PM

too bad.... i sold my 5zigen ones 20piece... 1 lock each wheel.

goodluck in finding them otherwise try and pick up a RAYS Short gun metal colour might be a bit exp though atm.

Musecret have project kics R40 in gunmetal and titanium.... can you justify the money for them though....

Oh man I would have bought them off you. Checking out eBay now & it's all so expensive.

What's the difference between open & close ended?

Did some research & for my EG is 12mm x 1.5 yeah? I just need the tuner lugs for aftermarket wheels?

**Crapdaz** · 10-03-2009 02:36 PM

Open end is the Project KIC i posted above and they are considered LONG.

Closed ends and SHORT are these ones below:

I am assuming honda's use all the same. So mine were M12x1.5 which should be right, PM someone who has an EG to check if your right with the specs.

Yeh make sure you check the shape of them as well, there are 2 types ROUNDED or TAPERED.

Most Aft use TAPERED but not always. Just check your wheels and get the right nuts.

Hope this has been helpful.
