Dave,
The Nissan Cast Aluminum wheels all used a special NISSAN
lug nut. They cost something like $4 each last time I checked,
but I always made a point of grabbing all 16 when I got the
wheels from the wrecking yard.
Those nuts are 12mm diameter. You need to replace the
roadsters 7/16" lugs with the 12mm items to use those
lug nuts.
Someone on the list had a machinist make up a set of
"adapters" but has been quiet on the subject.
Cheers,
Tom Walter
Austin, TX.
