Default Do tuner style lug nuts fit on OEM wheels?
Curious because im about to pick up a set of OEM 18s and I don't have my original lug nuts, wondering if I can use the aftermarket tune style. Thanks fellas

The OEM lugs have a little groove that slips INTO the OEM wheels lug opening..

The tuner lugs have a rounded end and don't have that same groove as OEM...

I would get some OEM lugs if I were you

Yes. Definitely some OEM lugs... if you look carefully.. the OEM lugs has a washer type base for the wheels.. whereas the Aftermarket lugs do not.

They will work temporary.. but you should get OEM lugs for OEM wheels..

Thanks for the info guys... anyone know what OEM lugs will run me? I imagine it is pretty expensive, I regret selling my OEM lugs

Is there an aftermarket solution that is the same style as the OEM lugs thats cheaper?
