tuner wheels typcially have to be smaller in diameter lug to fit down into the hole of the wheel. usually comes with wheel locks.

depends how the rims are made. I had a set of 5Zigen pro N1's that I could use a stock lugnut on, but the tuner lugnuts looked much better.

You can get tuner lugs anywhere. They are coned shaped at the end so it fits in the hole much better. And they look better. Just go on ebay and type in Lug Nuts and you'll see. thats what i did. I was gonna get the skunk2 ones but i didn't wanna pay $80 for weight reduction...lol

if it fits in the hole you can use stock lugs but most wheels require taperd ended lugs and our stock acorn style are round ended... there fore link *****iest said, youll ruin the rim... If your already spending 400 on rims spend 50 more on lugs...
