Default Lug Nut thread size and pitch?

Does anyone know the Lug not thread size and pitch. I am looking for nicer nuts for Marvin.

I found in Green ( forged aluminum ) that are 14 X 1.5 and not sure if that works.

Thought they would look nice with the silver twists without getting too ricey.

Dean, not sure offhand about the thread and pitch, but taper seat on those will not match up to any Porsche wheels, maybe aftermarket wheels.

Dean those are not the correct seats for the porsche wheels,

The ones you have posted are bevel,
YOU NEED BALL SEAT LUGS.

WARNING if you use the bevel lugs they will seat at the inner area of the wheel bolt face and deform the area,
thus peening the inner area into the studs and then you may not be able to remove the wheel.

I had a car here with these bevel lugs on it with brand new Porsche wheels,
the actual contact on the seat area was about 1/2 a mm and the wheels came off with small pieces of the seats being cut off by the threads of the studs.
I wouldnt release the car till the proper lugs were installed

Dean, www.autoatlanta.com P/N: R99918200101S has really nice polished alloy lug nuts, set of 20 for $ 120.40 shipped to your door. These are the stock style and will work with your wheels. Just put a set on the GTS and they look great. T

You can simply polish the stock nuts.

Can you get green anodizing on aluminum? Have black ones stripped and coat those.

I don't know....I was thinking powder-coat as well but don't know how it would hold up. I have tried painting but that does not survive past the second or so wheel removal.

I may research more on that.

You can do home anodizing in any color...
