So, I bought some Team Dynamics Jet RS wheels for my MX5. However, I’m trying to find lug nuts that would fit due to the fact the old wheels have a 60° seat, and the new wheels have a different seat, thereby rendering the old bolts as unusable. Does anyone have any experience fitting these wheels? If so, can anyone recommend to me what to get?
Someone like LKPerformance sell these, my advice would be to ring them and ask about the correct wheel nuts? They usually sell with a ‘fitting kit’ including wheel nuts so should know the taper.

I did pick these up used though, so I have to supply the wheel nuts, hence the problem
That’s fine, as said give them a ring, or Performance alloys, or whoever. I’m sure they will know and be able to sell you what you need separately

I’d guess the TD have a 45 degree taper, that’s a standard taper for after market wheels, OEM tend to use 60 degree like the ones you have.
I would email team dynamic and find out if you can’t get to a wheel shop that has some 45 profile nuts.
Make sure you use the correct items, or you’ll have a problem with wheel nuts loosening.
