Ok so im confuzzled about this. This is the first set of wheels I have ever bought. I know that the hole for the lug nuts is not big enough to get a socket AROUND the lug nut.

So I assume I need the spline type. Is this open ended? Or does open ended mean it just has an open end.

Open ended just means open ended. Spline drive are an actual different type of lugnut that allow you to tighten and loosen to lug with a tool that slips inside the lugnut rather than the outside of it. Kind of like my ***** going into a vagina! : P hahahaha

Good choice on the Progressives Jonathan! Wait til you see MY new mod!


These are extended open ended lug nuts:





These are spline drive lug nuts:





Those aren't exactly what I was talking about, but they would work too. There are other brands that you can actually slide a tool inside the lug nut and then loosen or tighten it. Volk has some like it...





They have like a key and all this crazy chit.

They should all fit JGriz. I would say just get the VR lugs, as to match your wheels, and you know that they should be fine because they have the extra special tool.

Yea they all will fit your wheels. As long as they're "tuner lugs". Tuner lugs are thinner than OEM lugs.
