Just curious but why do you need OEM lugs? Would aftermarket lugs not suffice?

regular bolts wont fit, and the thin bolts arent the safest in the world, the metal of the rim between the bolt and where you screw to the car is failty thin, that without a "Shank" (or washer), you risk cracking the metal.

you dont need OEM, but OEM style.... here's an example of the shank bolt that comes with the g37 and whats needed for the wheels

im assuming your talking about these wheels!? (i just put them on my sedan and the shop refused to do it with any other bolts, but saw why....when you get the wheeld, just look at the holes where the bolts go):

THanks so much Kayzer and everyone else in this thread! I ended up getting 16 OEM lugs and 4 OEM locks put on my G37 Wheels. Unfortunately, the tire place wouldn't put on my 25mm spacers so I'll have to put them on myself.

Thanks!
