I don't know what the hole diameter is the the Z wheels, but you might want
to look at some "mag" style lug nuts.
I bought a set to fit a set of older, panasport knock-off Western wheels
(from a Z) from
http://www.wheelcomponents.com/lug3.html  They have a lot of different
diameter and bore lug nuts available in 7/16 thread.
