Need Volk GTC specific lug nuts

I just bought some Volk GTC for my '08 G37 Coupe and have found out that they require specific lug nuts. Which one of our vendors has them in stock or can get them quickly? Please PM a price shipped to 77520 please.

Does anyone else have Volk GT-C wheels and use lugs other than the "required" lugs Volk provides with the wheels? Please post or PM me with what lugs you have that work with them.

The "GTC specific" lug nut requirement is bogus. I have regular 60 degree tapered seat 1.25 tuner lugs that fit just fine. Cost me a 20% restocking fee for the ugly ones that I returned that are supposed to be the only ones that fit.

I don't know the name of my lugs, but I found some generic, black thin wall lugs that fit my GT-C's that were cheap.

I think a lot of the issues why people think they have to have the GTC specific lugs is bc they need the correct Hub centric rings to get even spacing with all the lugs. I believe just about any 60 degree taper will work provided it all lines up evenly.

I would highly recommend the Mcgard spline drive lugs for your application. We are constantly changing wheels on our cars and these lugs are amazing. They are steel plated which provides an extremely durable finish that does not chip/flake like painted or anodized lugs. They also feature a two piece design which protects the wheel finish and provides even torque. Best of all they are affordable!!

Here's how they look in black



Send me a PM if you are interested in a set, we stock a wide variety of colors for the Mcgard lineup.

Sorry to bump such an old thread, I just didn't wanna start a new one. Black Betty said something about the hubcentric ring for the GT-C's. Where would I be able to find it? Thanks.

Don't laugh but ebay is a good place for these. I bought the polycarbonate rings and have had no issues with them. I would stay away from aluminum but that's just me.

And I only spent $10 for a set of 4. You'll need to know the inner diameter of the new rims, I believe the G runs 66.1 mm.
