Z Wheel Nuts - 12mm x 1.25

[Ron Earp]

I have been looking for good quality 12mmx1.25mm nuts for awhile. Never ran across much of anything. Last week I clicked on the banner advertisement on this site and asked the fellows at trackstuds.com if they had any and the answer was no. I conversed with the owner via email and got this response from him today:

Ron,
We have 300 of these to start.

Won't actually be able to ship any for a week but if these sell we will continue to stock them.
Let me know if anyone else is undercutting our price as we want to be the price leader on the simple stuff.

Thanks!

They appear to be what I was looking for and I'll be ordering up 20 today. Thought I'd post this for the other Z guys in case you'd not found some open-ended wheel nuts.

Ron did you ask what socket fits these? We run these on the Mazdas with good results and ours have a 17MM hex.

[Ron Earp]

I'll find out but I think it was 17mm. The ones I've been running for years are 19mm, but closed and large, more for street bling.

We run Gorilla lugs on our car... no problem with em yet.
