Question Who makes 2.5mm and/or 3mm scale lugs?

I'm finally taking the next step in detailing a rig out with scale hardware and I've got a couple sets of SSD brake rotor hubs, and Chinese slw hubs that I'd like to put some scale hardware in.

What options are available for m2.5 and/or m3 scale lug nuts (or acorn style lug "studs")? I saw Locked Up rc has 2.5mm acorn nuts, but do they (and the corresponding nut driver) fit in the recesses of your typical aluminum wheel?

All of the m3 acorn nuts I've come across have been 5.5mm across, and there's no way they'll work with my wheels. As an alternative, are the heads/flanges on an m3 scale hex bolt big enough to not pull through a typical aluminum wheel? Does anybody know of any other "scale" options in these sizes?

I run LURC 4-40 acorns for SLW hubs and the driver fits nicely in the very tight recesses of my VP Method 101s

I just wanted to update that I FINALLY found M3 acorn lugs. Just received them today and they fit just as well as my LURC lugs do, just in the sizes I prefer (M2.5 and M3)

These are the ones I bought, advertised as "Injora" but arrived in the typical white labeled, yellow envelope with generic marking from China: https://www.ebay.com/itm/M2-5-M3-Met...1-16422efc823c

They come with a driver too, but I don't plan to use it.

Nice find!

Love it when the little sought after parts can be sourced somewhere, even if it does mean a bit of a wait...

They may have taken 3 years to find.... but they only to 10 days to arrive! Definitely a small victory. One of these days I'll finally get some LURC rear full float hubs (wheel nut covers) and my wheels will actually be DONE.

A little late but maybe someone else is looking like me.
