Exclamation Volk GT-C special lug nuts?

What type of lug nuts do I use on Volk GT-C wheels? I purchased a new set of volk racing formulas, but no luck. I have researched for hours, but can't seem to get a certain answer so I'm turning to the forums. Any links, type of lugs, or any info would help. Thanks

I'm guessing the issue is that you need nuts that are small in diameter to fit the recesses in the wheel? I used these on my Rays/Nismo LMGT4's:

I believe I do need them thinner, the acorn type lugs do not seem to be making their way in which don't grab the thread on the stud. Do you know for sure that these lugs will work with this type of rim?

I don't, but if you measure the holes, I'll measure the wrenches for you, and then you'll know if the McGard nuts will fit.

They do require special lugs. I had to get them as well:
Volk Locking Lug Nut Set for GT-C Wheels for All Nissan and Infiniti
Part # VR W10864 Nis/Inf
This is a set of 4 locking lug nuts made specifically to fit the Volk GT-C wheel. These lug nuts do not fit any other wheel!

The price includes the special key too.


MSRP $125.00
Your Price $105.00

Those are just 4 locks - what about the other 16 regular nuts?

Anyway, the wrench for the McGuard nuts is 20.03mm, and the one for the locks is 19.98mm, both outside diameters.

Yeah I just noticed that as well but might be a typo cause from I remember that was how much the entire set cost. I'd call MVP to confirm.. I purchased my set from them over 5 years ago
