Can u take a picture of what the hole looks like? I ran into the same problem when I got my G37 wheels. I did have to get new lug nuts. I forget what they're called. If you can't see the bevel-face seat, and instead there's a flat surface, then tes, you need new lug nuts, and they are expeeeeeensive! I got mine fir about 40 bucks from some guy on e-bay.

Why not take one lug off your car and see if it fits the Z wheel?

If it doesn't, check your local auto store. They have replacement lug nuts for a buck or two a piece.

Actually, the oem ones are not that easy to get... out here, only pep boys had them. And, they were crome plated. The oem ones are stainless.

Stainless vs chrome really doesn't matter. OEM lugs on the Maxima are all chrome.

Well, I live on the coast. It matters to me! ha ha! Ah, I just happen to not like the lower quality of the chrome they use on auto-parts store lug nuts. There is one brand that has really good quality stuff, but I can't remember it.

Yup! That's the ones! At least those are the ones I had to use. The locks at the Nissan stealer were only about $40.00-$45.00, I still have to get them though.
