    Hey all.
    A bit out of left field here.
    Let me start off with I’m as green as you can get in the biker world.
    I’m looking for replacement lug nuts as close to OEM as possible. The bike I inherited only has two of the four lug nuts, and the new ones that were given to me with the bike are to wide so that I can’t fit a socket into the space of the rim to tighten the lug nut down. I’ve looked on forums and all I’ve turned up is that they’re 12mm x 1.5 ball-seat. I’ve noticed that the two on the bike are longer than typical car lug nuts and I’m not sure if that really makes a difference. I’ve seen guys say not to use any that are made of materials other than steel.
    Anything I’ve found so far looks to wide or doesn’t claim to be compatible with a 97 VFR.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Wow…I must be blind. I’d looked on there yesterday and could’ve sworn the part on the diagram was a valve stem x,D
    Guess a second pair of eyes comes in handy.
    Thanks!
