Question lug nuts?

Just got my stock 04 ralliart rims powder coated.. well ill be getting them on saturday. I want to switch up the stock lug nuts tho.. I believe my years nut size (correct me if im wrong) is 12 X 1.5 and Ive been looking online for some replacements. I found some ebay ones for $25 which seems extremely cheap and are probably garbage. Does anyone know of a decent brand that carries this size lug in black? Im not looking for anything to fancy.. even tho some rays would be nice but not for $200+ ... Pacific mall maybe?

I dont want to spend more then $150.. letme know!

Thanks.

^^ I don't think you can use tuner lugs on the stock rims. The stock nuts are different seats. I would call and confirm before ordering if I were you.

I wanted to get blue lugs for my stocks and the 3 diff company's I talked to all said that those tuner lugs won't fit properly in stock rims. I wonder what the diff between the stock and aftermarkets would be for the lugs fitting?

Chincster is right !! Aftermarket lugz wont fit on any OEM wheel. Use stock lugz.

I've been running for about a year now with tuner lug nuts...they do fit but I've been warned by my mechanic that this was really risky.
The tuner nuts kind of only press the whell from the bottom while the oem nuts have this triangular shape that provides more firction with the wheel for a better holding force.
