I have not found any. It is that flat seat with the washer, or the ball (spherical) seat, depending on your model, both of which are kind of unusual. All tuner nuts seem to 12x1.5 not 14x1.5 and conical seats.

I believe both McGard and Gorilla offer aftermarket lugs. IIRC, McGard offers a set with red caps.

so theoretically these would work http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/20-LI...item563a92973d, although I am a little wary of quality because I have had a lug snap on me before and it is a bitch to get off

Should work if you have non Acura wheels with conical seats.

Same comment for the McGard spine drive nuts
