Lugnuts for forgeline wheels?

Any suggestions on what lugnuts I should be using and where to buy them? The stock nuts don't really thread very deeply into my wheels before they start to bite into the surface of the inner hub.

Lemme try this another way... Has anyone found it necessary to install longer wheel lugs when using this type of wheel, especially for track purposes?

It's a good idea...my thoughts on my own situation was that the wider tire/wheel combo would put more stress on the studs and therefore I went with an aftermarket stud. Also, I have very light wheels so why ruin a good thing with heavy lug nuts? I went looking for forged aluminum lug nuts and was turned off by the price. I did a search on e-bay and found some black forged aluminum lug nuts for under $40 (25 shipped) which have an open head. They're smaller in diameter as well as to allow for a socket to fit in there without marring the surface of the lug nut holes.

Like the previous poster says you will need longer studs, but a good 4-6 spins is good enough.

My brother is using stock lugnuts and on his forgeline wheels, no problems, but he has a 240sx.
