    I am getting ballistic jester off road rims for my car, and I have no clue what lug nuts to get and where to get them. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Would those black acorn nuts on that website fit with the ballistic jester wheels?

    You got a picture of these wheels? Maybe contact whoever you are purchasing them from and ask if these nuts will work, but I'd imagine that lugnuts are pretty universal. I might be wrong though so hopefully someone else chimes in.

    Okay ... I have got to ask ... when I bought my aftermarkets the company included lug nuts ... so, my question is ... isn't that the normal way of doing things ... not to bust on anyone ... just a bit confused :confused:

    RIMS do not need lug nuts, but WHEELSs do! If you're confused, look up the definition of both. ;)

    Contact the seller and ask this question. If they can't provide the requested info, take your business elsewhere.

    Pretty sure most steel wheels use the tapered acorn style lug nuts. Aluminum/ alloy wheels use the straight shank style (not sure what the nickname is).

    Not to get into racial vernaculars but "rims" :rasta: and "wheels" :) are interchangeable.
