Default RaceStar Lug nuts
I have a set of Darkstar wheels, do I have to use the Racestar lugs? I see that many shank diameters range from .650''-.720'' as well as shank length ranging from .500'' to 1.380''.

Thanks

I used McGard because those racestar lugs always rust. Part number I used: McGard Lug Nuts 63016

me too but at least they don't rust... For the backs i have 1/2 studs so I got the ones below.. they have an open center for longer studs but come with a black cap screwed into it.. That at least covers the end of the lug with black.. they don't look bad..

McGard Drag Racing Lug Nuts 63004 - you would need to find the comparable 12mm, these are 1/2..

I'm SO confused!

Can someone describe the thread and type of the OEM lugs?

Any part number for the OEM lugs?
