Lightbulb What lug nuts to use on aftermarket wheels?

Hello everyone. Have a quick question. Im getting some aftermarket wheels today and I know that I shouldn't use my stock lug nuts for after market wheels. Does anyone know what kind of lug nuts to use on aftermarket wheels for us lancer drivers? Open end, closed end? Mag seat? please help. http://www.ebay.com/itm/270866158482?_trksid=p2055120.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT or http://www.ebay.com/itm/110724531314?_trksid=p2055120.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT would those work? All information are much appreciated.

All information are much appreciated.
You should ask the person you bought the wheels from.

Don't use stock! It shouldn't matter open, or closed. I'm using Ray's JDM open lugs on my ADVANS. I've used closed before too. Good luck!

Aftermarket wheels typically use acorn/tapered IIRC
