Lug Nuts for Nismo Wheels?

daveman0916 · 12-04-2016, 03:43 PM

Hi All,

I have a 2012 370Z Touring.

I bought 2015 Nismo wheels and put them on.

Can I use the old lug nuts from my car? Or, was I supposed to get new lug nuts? My friend warned me that I might damage my rims if I don't use the right lug nuts.

Lastly, I bought wheel locks so that my rims don't get stolen. Is this a good idea or bad? https://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Autom...70z+wheel+lock

You have to use OEM lug nuts, so your sport ones will work.

Must use mag style lug nuts, not the ones with a tapered seat. Those lock nuts won't work either

Thank you all. I guess it's safe to use my stock lugs. Does anyone here recommend any locks that are under $50? I don't want anyone to steal my rims.
