Default needs some wheel help (style opinions and lug nuts that fit)

I just picked up a set 19 X 8.5 +34 offset Concept Neeper Neunzig wheels with Nexen N7000 tires to try out on the GS. Unfortunately the lugnut holes are too small, so I can't really try them on, but I tried to mock them up to get some thoughts. What do people think? Worth keeping and finding some lugnuts that fit? Any recommendations on where to find the lugnuts? Also, where to find lexus look center caps that fit? (I tried my current ones, but they're just slightly too bit)


new wheels - 19's




current wheels -18's

You need a set of tuner lugnuts. They are smaller in diameter, made for aftermarket wheels.

haha, still a bit different... I have Antique Bronze Mica and the wheels have that gunmetal/silver painted finish.


I'm guessing you're partial to the neeper's vs. oem wheels
