Lug nuts:
12mm X 1.5
Right Hand Thread

The seat depends on the wheel. I dont know about Z06 rims, but the stock Chrome T/A Wheels use an Acorn Bulge seat.

This is what I just bought and installed recently:
PN: 157-91733
Desc: GORILLA LOCK & LUG NUT PKG, ACORN BULGE, 20 PK, 12mm X 1.5
(I bought them at Thunder Racing for $28 shipped)

These are closed-end lug nuts, but I think the track requires open-end lug nuts.

z06's use the same concial seat. I have them on mine. I'm not to happy with the gorilla locking nuts. I broke a wheel stud with brand new ones. The regular ones are ok though. Seem like very sturdy pieces. I wasn't able to get a replacement locking lug.

I dont see how a lug nut would break a stud unless you cross-threaded it and used an impact wrench. In which case, that would happen with any lug nut.

Well, I didn't use either. The lug siezed when I was taking it off after I tightened without an impact. It was spinning fine, started binding and would not come loose. I went back and forth a few times and finally figured I was just going to have to break it which I did. The stud broke inside the lug. Funny thing is I was able to still use it broken like that.

I have a question for you guys. I have a Moser 12 bolt and I need to get some new lugs. I am putting TT2's on it and was wondering what size of lug nut I need? Thunder racing sells 12mmx1.5, 14mmx1.5, and 1/2. What size do I need to order? Thanks for your help.
