lug nut question??

I just got a set of Foose nitrous 20". Now my question is what lug nuts, do I reuse the stockers or get some new ones. If new, what style, acorn, recess etc..... thanks. I will post pics once everything is "done".

I used the stock ones when I put on my foose rims, however you might want to get a set of tuner lug nuts from gorilla because a regular socket or lug nut wrench wont fit into the holes and might scratch the rims (I learned that the hard way on the first one). I had to find a thin walled socket to get them in.

Oh and they are going to be acorn style 1/2" RH, you can get a set from summit I believe for about $32.
