You've just broken 3 cardinal rules to posting on this forum.

1. You are doing multiple posts for the same topic.
2. You have your CAPS LOCK on.
3. You are posting in the wrong forums. This is a wheels/tire subject and should go in that forum. No, don't go posting yet another thread there. Let these ones die or wait for a mod to move them. You have your answer in the other thread anyway.

They will work fine....but you'll prolly scratch the paint off around the bolts when putting on and off.

This is from exp. "I have TE's tooo. lol"

Correct, you do not want to use OEM lug nuts on aftermarket wheels that require a conical lug nut.

That doesn't mean you have to buy a set of $100 lug nuts though, some cheap conical lug nuts would be fine.

But, when you are buying 1600+ used TE37s, or 2000+ new ones, is $100 really that much more anyways?

I spent a lil over 1200 shipped for my works from evasive motorsports and he made it $1300 shipped with the lugs and valvestems in blue to match the decals on the rims. So I payed about $75 for lugs and valve stems shipped, if you talk to the people your buying them from they will normally help you out as much as they can....

it wasnt really a hook up, thats not really what I meant, It was just about equal to what they list on their site and they offer free shiping on almost everything they sell

O yea I also got hooked up on a dope ass tag thing, LOL

My point was that you shold not be a cheap ass, if your spending A Lot of money on wheels you should just go ahead and get the lugs for a lil bit more.
