Default what lug nuts do you run on ur aftermarket wheels?

I know a lot you guys have aftermarket rims with aftermarket lug nuts. Just curious what you guys are running. i know about the baller $200+ kics and am not going that route. definitly going with something a little cheaper if i do need aftermarket lug nuts.

can you run stock lug nuts on aftermarket rims or is it not recommended?

i have blitz type 01 wheels that i just picked up. i just took them apart and am going to polish/refinsh them. just gathering all the parts i need now. lug nuts may be one of them.

You're going to need an aftermarket set if the Blitz Type-01 have a different seat which I'm sure they do. Never run stock/ball seat on aftermarket/tapered seat wheels! Or vice versa. It doesn't seat properly and can loosen/come off. Or if you tighten too much, damage the seating area.
awesome, thanks anuj. now i have to see if i want open, close, short or extended ones. any benefits to any of these?
