Are these the right lugnuts for the ipl wheels?





Someone recently told me these were the wrong lugs but I've never known infiniti to use any other. But I'm a bit paranoid now so I wanted to confirm.

These are the aftermarket black lugnuts from z1/concept z and are sold as oem lugs for stock sport wheels

OEM wheels require mag-style lug nuts. The "IPL" wheels are still OEM and still require mag-style. Do NOT use the conical style.

The picture was for reference only, the lug nut on the right. The one on the left was used in comparison for something else when I took the pict. It’s a Rays M12 1.5 anyways. My bad, should have mentioned that.

I wonder what the engineering reasoning is for the two. Total surface contact looks about the same. Probably a manufacturing or marketing decision

I'm sure there's a ton of scientific reasoning between the different types of lugs/ nuts that involve way too many physics laws and equations that would fry my brain.

Maybe someone more in the know could chime in... for Idle curiosity's sake.
