I have been looking at a ton of lightwt lugs, I have even bought a pair and returned them because they were too long, I have let a shop come with me out to my car and try one on (too short and small).
Here is what I am looking for
COLOR-Silver
LENGTH-same as stock or slightly shorter
STYLE-light weight/aluminum, Close ended
it sounds crazy, but to get this combo, it is IMPOSSIBLE. So, I am thinking about buying a set or rays and taking a dremel tool to the face and polishing that part (should I get black, or red and have that color slightly reflect in the lug holes in the wheels, could looking intresting??). I am just NOT sure how much short they (RAYS) are than Stock. Anyone have any ideas or measurements. I would DEEPLY appreciate it, I have been driving all over SoCalif trying to find a solution.

There are 2 different size RAYS lugs, regular and long. I have the regular ones in black, they are a little shorter than the stock lugs, but they fit my wheels perfectly. They're also super light. Hope that helps.

We have these...
5Zigen Light Weight Lugs
Each one weights less then 1 ounce... ( 0.9 ounces )
The black rays lugs that come with the NISMO LMGT4''s are 1.6 ounces each...
BLUE / RED and TITANIUM in stock... (blue and titanium pictured on the wheels)
I am not sure you are going to find something shorter... maybe the black ray's nuts that come with the LMGT$'s are what you are looking for?
sell you mine slightly used :-/

Stock

internal thread depth: 0.69"
Rays
overall length: 1.21"
internal thread depth: 0.87"

Correction to above. The lugs I measured are supplied with the Nismo LM GT4 wheels made by Rays Engineering. I am not 100% sure that the supplied lugs are identical to the lugs sold separately by Ray's Engineering. Lets call them Nismo lugs, okay :^)
