That brings up a question, are there similar-appearing lug nuts in a M12-1.5 thread? I'm gonna need those for the front wheels.

I found adequate lug nuts that will work for my needs. Gorilla makes an M12x1.5 lug nut intended for Jaguar applications that's perfect. The shank diameter and depth is identical, as is the flange diameter. They use the same 3/4" socket. They have a similar shape, but they're a fair bit longer to accommodate longer studs, and they use a washer seat rather than just a flange. They're threaded for their entire length. The washer makes them look a little bit different than stock, but it also helps prevent any gouging of the wheel, especially if I lube the space between the washer and the lug nut before tightening.









Part number is GOR73138J. They're typically available individually, and they're NOT cheap. I found a set of 20 at an online store I've never bought from before for $120, and they arrived quickly. I've had both positive and negative experiences with Gorilla lug nuts, but these seem like a very good quality.
