lug nuts

ok i just ordered advan rs's in 18x9 +29

did a search, all i got was info for aftermarket lugs.

my question is, will the stock lug nuts from my evo ix (bbs wheels) fit on the advan rs's?

If not, what should i order, either in gold or black (prefered), spec and aluminium or steel...


Thanks

To clarify, not any lug nut with a 12 x 1.5 thread will work. On aftermarket wheels the lug nut will need to be tapered to fit the wheel, a standard type lug nut will not work in most cases.

Aluminum lugs like the Rays are light and I've used them on a few cars for years with no expansion problems but they do strip easily if not torqued properly and you should put some anti seize lubricant to prevent them from bonding to the studs (two dissimilar metals steel (wheel stud), aluminum lug nut).

Open or closed is pretty much up to you, I prefer closed.
