Yes, you will need aftermarket lugs. The seats are acorned on OEM lugs and need to be tuner style lugs for Rotas (which are more of a V instead of the U shape of a stock lug).

dont be cheap w/ ur car man, plus cheap lug nuts strip. Y buy rims then, half *** it w/ some cheasy lug nuts. Thats like buyin a ITR for ur ej8 then buying a Ractive exhaust. 
Well maybe not as serious, but i am a har core supporter of spending a little more for quality n to have something done right. **** i should still have my factory wty therefor i figure i better have something reliable

Skunk2 all the way. They take off 50 some pounds off your car. When rolling your lugs and tires weigh 7 times what they do in real life so it saves weight. That is why I would go with them and they look good and are stronger than any other lug out.

Ive had 3 sets of gorilla lugs and never had ANY kind of problem with any of them. Theyre good lugs.
Did you guys torque them over the 80ft/lbs or what?

I have been running Gorilla Lugs for over two years, and have had no problems whatsoever.
