So specs:

As mentioned:

12x1.5

Other things to consider based on the type of wheel you got.

Lugseat: Cone Seat/Acorn, Ball Seat, Shank

Lugnut Diameter: Tuner = SMALL DIAMETER/HAS KEY, Standard = 19mm or 21mm socket, NO KEY...

Most all Aftermarket wheels use a CONE Seat/Acorn Style Lugnut. This is the shape of the bottom of the lugnut that touches the wheel lugseat.

12x1.5 is the thread pitch

Some wheels have BIG HOLES, can use a standard lugnut

Other ones have puny holes that will require a tuner lugnut.

Hope that helps.

I know of some girls that have big holes.

Does that count as being knowledgable about wheels?

Those girls sounds more like a "ShANK" lugnut seat to me...

Yes RPF1's should be able to take the stock ones. Cone seat for sure.

STock lugs take a 21mm socket, 19mm is better though so you don't mark up the inside of the lugseat walls with the 21mm socket.

They're a two piece lug nut. The part that touches the rim doesn't rotate and grind into the rim as you tighten. They work really well, and the tool to tighten/loosen is very thin at the edge, so it'll fit any rims you own. Did I mention they're light weight?

I was thinking of these, they have it in M12 x 1.5 so it should fit correct?

I'm going to use these with the factory wheel btw

It says ". DO NOT USE THESE TUNER LUGS FOR YOUR FACTORY WHEELS" Why?

nice choice in lugs, i am thinking about getting some new rims, and did some research for a lightweight lug nut and those were the lightest i found, with in a decent price range. plus they are forged. as for the comment on not using them with your stockers, it most likely has to do with their seat, im not sure tho. i've contacted them before and they are very friendly and quick with there responses.

I think it's because of the chamfer angle, but have no clue why it would matter since the curved part is on the outside
