Volk Racing Gtc Wheels

[PM-R33]

This has been doing my head in recently so I need to find out more info before I spend money on something that aint going to work.

So basically as most people know, Volk GTC wheels require special Rays Lug Nuts to make them fit. These lut nuts look like this:

They are expensive, don't look all that great and if you loose/break one you are pretty screwed.

Everyone uses these as they are basically the only option and no other lug nuts fit.

However when I bought my wheels I thought that maybe if I got longer wheel studs it would allow me to run normal lug nuts.

Turns out it works and I run normal open ended lug nuts like this:

So my question is. If I now run normal open ended lug nuts as above, does that mean that I can now run some form of Rays lug nut?

I really want some black lug nuts that are closed on the end. Not open ended because it looks all crappy rusted inside.

The issue is the diameter of the lug nut. As on the GTC wheel they go completely inside and actually "lock in" towards the middle of the wheel instead of right on the outside.

But if you look at a picture such as this of a different type of aftermarket lug nut, it appears that something might work since it looks to be the same diameter as my one on the far right?

Thoughts? I'm getting to confused by constantly looking at different pictures of lug nuts and I just want some damn black closed ended lug nuts lol.

I need lug nuts suitable for GTCs with extended wheel studs.

The ones that ray provide will be too short for my wheel studs

So basically the same situation as me? As I said, I run those open ended ones with no dramas at the moment on my extended wheel studs. However I want some nice black closed ended ones.

Sort of. But I didn't run my wheels like you have.

Wasn't game enough.

Too much hassle, probably will sell them soon.

You can get the racing spec D1 lite-weight racing nuts and they should fit fine. Looks good too. They cost around $110. Don't be fooled by Ebay copies. Get them from JustJap, Nengun etc.

Cheers.

See the main thing that I keep thinking is that maybe a socket won't go over it since they sit all the way inside the wheel and there simply won't be enough room? Hence why the Ray GTC lug nuts are open ended since that is all you will ever fit.

Here a picture is worth a thousand words. Will explain the differences.

After drawing that I really don't fit there is any other options than what I allready have.
