The "hole" in the wheel is not wide enough in many aftermarket wheels. Once you put a socket over the OEM lugnut, it will either just barely fit and the socket will scratch your wheels, or not fit at all.

You're talking about $40 for a full set of Gorilla spline-drive lugnuts with a special key so that your wheels can't be stolen using a regular socket. Money well spent if you're investing in aftermarket wheels.

Lots of performance shops in Markham should have them in stock.
