Joe,

I should have a set. How does $40 plus shipping sound? Let me know.

Doesn't matter actually - Joe paints everything.

They are a faded black. I figured Joe would paint them yellow to match this wheels but Lizards idea of pink is good. Maybe a lime green would be nice. Just kidding Joe.

You get the 19mm size that you need plus two more that you don't for half the price of one 19mm at Performance or Tweeks. -Or for about the same price (as one at Tweeks or Performance) you can have seven from HF: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=40035

Im gonna be wanting to take the car out on the track
after I join the porsche club. To be able to you have to
have steel lugnuts I believe. What they called? Acorn nuts?
the mating surface between the bottem of the nut and hole
on the rim is special so I guess all lugnuts wont fit.

I have never heard of that, the PCA up here says the factory magnisium nuts are fine,

Yes, I think it is called an acorn seat - rounded (ball) seat, instead of a straight taper (which is more common).

Paragon sells the steel nutz, about $1USD each IIRC. It's actually factory parts. Hell, try a dealer! You never know...

I have a vague recollection of reading somewhere that steel lugnuts are for use only with steel wheels and mag lugnuts with alloy wheels.
It's also important that the curve of the mating surface between lugnut and wheel are matched, especially with alloys.
