Default Where to buy wheel nuts...

Looking to get new wheel nuts and want to make sure I get the proper ones. Do the stock wheels and replicas all use a ball radius end? I went on EBay and see a bunch of different ends and they all say they're compatible (NOT). Any suggested sources would be appreciated - I'm assuming I don't have to pay a Porsche premium for lug nuts... Also looking for a set of locking nuts. Thanks!

Yes we need ball end lug nuts. Of course the thread pitch and diameter must match, look for M14x1.5 thread. I just got a set of chrome steel lug nuts off ebay.

use open end lug nuts if you have extended studs;

Chrome closed end lug nuts have a nicer appearance, this is the set I got for my car;
