as you all know I got new rims..17x7 ADR Competitions

Im not really familiar with this but I think I need new lug nuts for these rims because Im not really sure if the stock ones will fit, plus the stock ones are like coroded..

what type should I get and where would be the best place to get them..

I can't believe they didn't supply the lugs!!! You'll need a tuner style lug nut that will also come with a special took. You can't fit a normal impact wrench on them because they are too close to the wall of the lug holes.

When I got my Rev wheels they did not include lugs either I had to get tuner lugs and made my own tool (a 12mm hex key).

haroon, i think your new wheels have a cap so u need open acorn lug nuts and make sure they are all locking lugs. get gorilla lugs. u can search ebay. i got mine from a seller who carries them. i may still have the sellers name. they didnt have them listed but they got them and listed them for me. i can give u the gorilla item #. i still have the packaging with extra nuts.

i had gorillas on an old previous car. About a year later, the splines began to wear, and one of them actually sheered off. Getting them removed was fun.... but I then used McGard. Had those on the car for about 8 years and there was never a sign of wear... even after I totalled the car when a wall jumped in my way.
