You have to get aftermarket lugs.

Rays are prob the best lugs for the price, since they are affordable and a nice name brand.

If you want to be a baller you can get some project kics r40.

muteki's are probably the least expensive of the aftermarket offerings. one upside is that you can use your spare tire wrench on the key to torque on/off the lug nuts. if you are constantly torquing on/off your lug nuts, better to strip a cheap lug nut than an expensive set.

rays are nice, but they are a bit beefier compared to muteki's. depending on what size they are (i have a set that are 17mm in size), you won't be able to use your spare tire wrench to torque on/off the lug nuts.

i haven't had any experience with project kics, but i do know that they're more expensive than your typical offerings.
