Default Lug Nut question

hey guys i just picked up a set of gab super sports for my car. so im all excited put one on the car to test the fitment, i go pick up my lug nut to snug one on and it doesn't fit. try all the different lug nuts i have and nothing work. the barrel for the lug on the wheels is extremely skinny. i think i need a mag lug nut like this


I've never actually seen those lug nuts before but a little searching on the web and i found those and thats all i could think of that would work. Has anyone seen anything like that before or know where i could get something that would work? thanks a lot. here are two other pictures so you can kinda see what i mean. sorry for the poor quality all i had on hand was my cell phone

Talk the manufacturer of the wheel and find out what they recommend.

you need a "tuner shank" lug nut.

the best and cheapest thing is the Gorilla lugs,


they all look like their locking u can find em for like 30-40$

riley.

well thats the smallest lugs they make, tuner shank.

are you sure your using the corect 5 holes?

either tuner shank works or nothing..

they surely arent GTC style holes.. using the lugs u posted in 1st post..

ya the spline lugs are about as big as those little silver lock style ones in the photo. the others pictured are skunk2 lug nuts. i think im going to have to get longer studs to make it work. there are two sets of holes but both sets are 5x114.3 and they are the same depth and diameter.
