Help, lug nut problem...

So I picked up a set of 17 inch rims for my ls. Stock lugs are too big for the holes in the rims and I can't find aftermarket lug nuts to either fit in the rim or thread onto the wheel studs.

Anyone know a the size I am looking for. The biggest socket that will fit in the holes for the wheels is a 14mm. So the hex has to be 14mm obviously.

I only found 1 set that fit into the wheels and it was a tight squeeze with the socket (would have tore up the rim) so the thin wall sockets might take care of that issue, but, they would not thread onto the wheel studs.
