Default Few questions regard lug nuts and tire sizes..

One is, at the junk yard I found some rims. The only problem is they have some type of lug nuts that I haven't seen before and it's hard to get them off, that's the only reason people haven't took them yet.

They look round, but have at the end it's all pointy(?). It's hard to describe.

I made a cheap image of the end :

Any idea, what type of lug it is?

Second, are 92 Mazda 4x100 or 4x???

I dont have anything to offer as far as the lugs youre describing, unless its a splined lug of some sorts,

What model mazda are the wheels from?
The MX-5 (miata), protege, mx-3 are 4x100, with early rx-7's being 4x110, and 4x114.3 up to 1988 depending on trim level. the 626 and 323 were 4x114.3 prior to 1990 as well

Yeah, the lugs are hard to explain. I haven't found anything on the net for them and those aren't it either.

I believe it was a 92 Mazda Protege. Can't remember. All I know it was a black coupe, the interior badge said it was made in 1992. It wasn't any of the others either, so I'm guessing a Protege.

If its a Protege then the wheels are going to be a 4x100, but they will share the same 54.1mm center hub bore with the Miata, which is smaller than will fit Honda hubs, which for civics and integras are 56.1mm (or 56.2, dont remember which). You will need to have the center bores drilled, either DIY or professionally, in order to use them. Here are some threads covering the topic.

Sounds like YOU didn't bother reading the entire post (first post in this topic). In addition to talking about the lug nuts, he's also asking about the ability to use Mazda wheels on a Honda - in which case the centerbore is definitely relevant.
