Mike,

Most of the ZX wheels require a special lug nut, I hoped you grabbed
them
at the same time!

You will need to install 12mm wheel studs on your roadster, in order to
fit
the special lug nuts and wheels.

When I had mentioned this previously, someone post a note that they had
the
ZX wheels machined to accept a steel insert, that matched the more
common
taper on the stock lug nuts. The OEM stud is 7/16", little smaller than
the
12mm ZX Stud, but the insert worked for them. I don't have any other
details,
perhaps someone will give a few pointers?

Cheers,
