No not from indy, from NY but live in SC. Just put that pic up cuz its the closest lookin one to mine lol. only difference is mine has the 16 inch alloys and 20% tint, same color though. I can always get chrome lugnuts but if mine will fit i dont see why. In the process of getting my hands on the 18 inch SS wheels.

Pretty sure it will depend on the wheel. There are three different basic shapes that I know of where the lugnut meets the wheel, round, tapered, and flat. Most aftermarket wheels take the round lugs I do believe, I'm sure someone will correct me if not.

Most wheels take tapered lugs. It's always a good idea to buy after market lugs because they will insure proper fitment with the wheels. They are cheap enough so I would just buy them. If your new wheels are exposed lug it's better to have some new chrome closed end lugs then junk oe open ones.

So much for my reading skills. If the lugs you have are actual lugs with the closed ends then I'd say that ya you should be able to use them, if they're just the nut deals than no.

Closed


Open - aftermarket open


Open - stock open, not sure what was on the 2LT, I know my 3LT came with closed end, but my wheels came with new lugs
