Does new rims = new lugs?

As you might know, I just bought these. Fake 'bullets' FTL, under $400 shipped FTW. Summer rims to hold me off while I save up for nice rims.

The question is, do I need new lugs? Obviously if the stock lugs work, but look stupid... that is another thing. But I am asking if they will work period. Is that a hit-or-miss type of thing, or do they fit most?

I know Macguard splines are the best.... I just need to look around to find a good deal or find some that are cheaper but also anodized. For now I just want to see if you think the stock lugs will fit.

 

Thanks.

oh is it? Sorry, I did not know pricing on these. Only $1 to add 4 chrome valve stems and a pouch for the tool. Not bad for $66 I guess!

 

it's a great deal. I paid $105/shipped to get mine sent two-day through SubyDude.

Mach V motorsports have some $45 spline lugs, along with some other sites I found. I guess you never know the quality though... until you slap them on for a year and see how the finish holds up.

 

those are the painted ones like Muteki or Gorilla. I've had those and they rust right away. Not a big deal, but for $20 more I'd get the nice McGards. Mine look brand new after 2 years of use.

 

As for color. What color is your car?

I vote black - But then again, I'm partial to the contrast. ;) And besides, I've got blacked-out pieces of trim on my LGT, which is why that was the choice for me.

 

But totally, this is "personal-taste."

Sometimes ebay is not the best place to buy stuff. I would also say if you are having your tires mounted at a high performance shop you may want to see what they have to offer as far as lugs. Sometimes they may be able to give you a break if you buy the lugs from them.

eh... not a fan on my rims. With those flat-silver rims with flat black lugs, the contrast is nice. I think chrome lugs on shiny polished rims would look good, and flat black lugs might just look like that is all you had so you used them.
