Thumbs up What lug nuts for Rota wheels?

I am wondering what kind of lugs the Rota wheels use? I am assuming they wouldn't be compatible with my stock ball seat lug nuts, correct?

I would have to buy some aftermarket tuner lugs, ie Work, Volk, BC, T1r, Etc.

Thanks for the help.

Go Seahawks!

almost all the aftermarket seat for japanese car are tapered.

just look at the seat on the rims, you'll see a flat little lip that on the rota

so yes, all the taper nut lug will work.(which mean the oem one will not)

Why would someone lie about this? Like I said, I have ROTA D2 with STOCK LUG NUTS.

I am replacing them with the motorklasse titanium nuts but I do have the stock ones now. It is a pain getting the stock ones on and off and the motorklasse are a bit longer.

Just because it went on doesn't mean its seated properly and using the recommended amount of threading.

then why would you want to recommend it?

work fine? screwing in a torx with a knife works fine but there just a better/proper way to do it.

stop spreading wrong infomation, just because you do it on your car please don't tell other it's fine.

taper seat are meant to be fastener with taper lug nut, you wouldn't catch me rolling with a flat lexus washer lugs on my oem honda round seat rims.
