Need to find new lug nuts

I need to buy a new set of lug nuts for the RX7 because I got some new wheels without lug nuts. The wheels are a graphite color and I would like to find some nice finished lug nuts that will match because there is no cover over the lugs. Can someone tell me what is my stud thread pitch and if anyone knows a good place to find a good set of lugs. Thanks for the help guys.

Buddy Club Graphite?


Also Rays, Work, Project Kics, make a bunch.
Expect to pay over $125 for a set with a locking key.
Cheapest your bet is Muteki.

Wow thats it, thanks. I really would like a set without any locking keys though, the car never really sits outside to have the need for any locks. Where do you think I could find the best deal at.

Be aware that most of those sets will be Aluminum and are more fragile than steel nuts, so you'll have to be more careful when tightening them (NO IMPACT WRENCHES). The first time you take it to a tire shop they'll likely destroy at least one.

I've also seen the weights of some aluminum nuts compared to some lighter steel ones and the difference is very, very small (it was something like 1/4 lb for all of them).

Not worth it given the tiny weight difference, the fragility and the cost IMHO.

Gorilla makes some nice nuts.
