Would these lug nuts fit?

I am looking for some cheap black lug nuts for my aftermarket rims and these are pretty cheap, about $40 shipped for both items. Will these fit?

20x black lug nuts

4x black lock nuts

I was actually looking at this too lol
I think it would fit, but there's better ones out there for additional $3. These are painted black so it will probably start chipping right away, where others are p-coated.

It also might not be matching length too.... and might end up looking weird.

Which other ones are you referring to?

I believe so.... try looking at the media share pic section for rims and look at the lugs people are using. I saw a lot of muteki, gorillas, and other aftermarkets.

And I wasn't really referring to any specific brand of lugs, just advising to buy a set that comes with 16 lugs and 4 locks, 1 key so that they're all the same length. There's a lot of it in ebay, some expensive, others pretty cheap.

NO!

The thread spec is only part of what's required for proper fitment. There are several types of "seat" available as well. You need to match the seat to whatever the proper type is for your aftermarket wheels. Here's a random vendor's description:

Getting them wrong WILL cause problems, possibly serious!

Oh yea, the shapes are important, but you're buying it for aftermarket rims so the ones on ebay including the originally linked should be okay. For 07 and up sedans OEM lug nuts, it's the shank shape (or mag shape w/washer on the site posted above), and for lugs prior were acorn shape.

I was looking around ebay too since I recently bought a M45 sport rim and it requires a different shape of lug nuts then the shank shape I have on right now. Try look at my thread and read it for more info given by other users :-)
