when you get after market wheels you usually need aftermarket lug nuts that will have a lug nut key and then it will work because the key sits inside the nut instead of outside like the factory lug nuts. gl with the new rims

do they have the same shape as the OEM lugs? By that I mean are they the 8-sided type? If so, I would recommend getting a thin walled 19mm(most likely) socket. That should fit

well the aftermarket lugs use
an allen key system
so it looks just like a shaft with a thread..
