I'm buying a set of rota slipstreams used w/ tires. it does not come with lug nuts. i currently have 4 lug nuts on each of my steelies right now. will they fit on the slips? or would i have to buy the correct size for lug nuts?

You don't need different sized lugs, you need different shaped lugs. Stock wheels (on a Honda at least) make use of an "acron" type seat. Aftermarket wheels use a "taper" seat.

Please see the FAQ for a better explanation.

ok i understand now. any ideas where i can buy the taper seat? Kragen or Autozone maybe? Price?

 

Yes they are like $1.50 up here at Baxter auto parts.

 

Any auto parts store should have them. I believe Autozone charges the same $1.19 each for lug nuts with a tapered seat as for lug nuts with a ball-shaped seat.

 

just order some off of ebay. i am really out of the loop and forget the companies, but mine were $30 shipped for black ones.
