Default Lug nuts

What are some good lug nut brands out there? Do I have to get new lug nuts if I get new wheels?

I don't know much about the subject, but I know that when I got new wheels, they put Gorilla lug nuts on there because the stock ones wouldn't work. Make sure to check the thread pitch and the lug spacing (I have seen it on here all over the place) and then you can start choosing lug nuts.

Good luck

Mcguard looks like a good option for non-OEM wheels:
Products


They are made in the USA and most of the reviews on Amazon are positive and claim they hold up well. (Mcguard guarantee's them for life not to rust, chip or peel.) The only down sides are they are a bit pricey (but you usually get what you pay for) and they only come in chrome or black.


But it's best to check with the manufacture of the wheel for the recommended 'seat' type of the lug nut you will need. BTW the thread type on the TC2 is M12 x 1.5

I also have a question if I decide to lower. If I get coilovers do I have to get new cambers?

Alright cool. I did some research just to make sure the lug nut thread size is M12 x 1.5 right?
