Wheel lug nuts missing

Hi,
I recently purchased infiniti g35 coupe from private owner. After purchasing I realized two wheel lug nuts missing on driver side rear wheel. The vehicle has aftermarket rims. Enkei LSR rims. Can someone please suggest the wheel lug nuts that I can purchase. I have OEM wheel lug nuts. Will that works??

Thanks for your time!

Did you buy the car certified?

If so, that's terrible to hear as it actually failed it's safety. A portion of the certification is called "nuts and fasteners" A car with 4 lugs on a 5 bolt automatically fails.

You CAN use OEM lugs if they fit the holes but buying aftermarket spline drive lug nuts would be your best bet. You local tire shop can help you out with those.

Thanks for your input. Car isn't certified. I purchased from private owner. During purchase I missed checking all the lug nuts.

In general, does lug nuts comes along with aftermarket rim?
