Dunno... I bought a set of winter wheels and tires from TireRack and they came with new lugs.

I'm getting ready to order a set of 19" GT-1's and I'd like to know the same thing.... Will the OEM lugs work?

Go through HR Autosports: http://www.hrautoparts.com/. They are a sponsor on our site. Also, they have some of the best prices I've seen for the Rays, which recommend! Oh, depending on the type of wheels you get, check the length of the lug nutz (short or long version). Also, you'll need the 12x1.25 size.

Whereever you get your wheels from, just ask the rep. It depends on the type of wheel you have. Most likely, you'll want to get regular (short). Unless of course you like to have the lugs a little past the center cap. I ordered Volks. So, I spoke with the manufacture rep and Chris @ F1 Motorsports (G35Driver Sponsor). Knows tons about wheels, specs, etc. I would give him a call actually. Up to you!
