Yup, they'll work. Keep in mind though, with the cheap variety you may not want to use an impact wrench to loosen them (nevermind tightening, but we all know that!). The chrome will flake very easily and leave rusty spots over time.

Get some gorrila nuts in black oxide. They hold up great and look sweet in a light colored wheel.

So I'm still trying to figure out what lugs. The gorilla nut website shows lots of different lengths for 12x1.5 lugs also why did ed say

Measure the 'exposed length' of the threads on your lugs. That will tell you how long you need.

Lug nuts are tricky. They have metric threads, SAE socket sizes, and metric or SAE lengths. M12-1.5 should be the correct thread, 3/4" or 13/16" the socket size, and ~1.39" deep for closed end (20mm open end for use with the black or chrome caps).

On my old '89 PA, even though the chrome flaked off with the impact it did not flake off the mating surface. I did coat them with grease though, and only had the wheels off one time after putting on the new lugs. Not exactly a long-term test.

00+ has 1/2" x 20 threads. That's what I have on my car.

You take two and I'll take two! That way as long as people will look at us from one side only the car will look awesome. Already happens to me.

OK so if our size is 12x1.5 why is ed running standard lugs I'm confused

Seth is correct, M12 x 1.5

That's the size of the ones on my 01, I checked the part number for an 00 too just to be sure, it's also M12 x1.5

Well they are extremely close 1/2"=12.7 mm and 1/20"=1.27mm
So standard lugs will fit but they aren't right

OK I think I have my kit picked.

These are gorilla 12x1.50 closed lugs with an overall length of 1.40 does that sound right to y'all?

Hmm. I haven't had any kind of issue related to the lugs. I'll have to measure them...

Well tomorrow I will probably order the lugs and one used tire to match my others (right now I have 3 Goodyear and one cruddy pirelli due to a blowout) and then next week hopefully we can get them mounted and installed
