    Nice wheels!

    As for lug nuts, go to a autoparts store (Autozone, PepBoys, etc) and get "tuner lugs". They'll be pretty cheap, and they'll do that job just fine.

      i know one thing, you will need the lugs that are a angle, not acorn like oem ones, i have to buy all new lugs from americas tires for a buck apiece an a set of gorilla lugs that have the key for 20. ya the tuner lugs, thats there name lol

      best bet is go to a tire store and have them set you up, improper lugs are not safe as i found out. americas tires would even pput my rims on the car with the old ones i had on.

      and ya, very nice rims, love rims with lips/ dishes on them

              also look into hubcentric rings to make sure the tire stays cetered about your axle

                      Eh 50's are pretty big. I would go with 45's. Im running 40's right now and wish i had the 45's for more comfort.

                              An aspect ratio of 40 or 45 is what you want... I agree with the 45, as I had 40 and I bent the hell out of my rims.

                              The hubcentric rings are important. These rims will not sit flush against the hub, so it will be putting unnecessary pressure on the studs (that they were not designed to handle).
