Default If you get new wheels, do you have to
get new lug nuts too or will the stock ones work with most wheels?

Thx

Default Depends on the particular wheel and offset...
Often times you will need to use longer lug nuts. These should be provided by the place you bought the wheels from.

Default Haha...
I had a new one going everyday for a while. I changed it depending on what what my mood was. Things one does to amuse themselves while their car is in the bodyshop.

Default Any advice on how to amuse oneself...
while waiting for their car which is still on a moving truck. Nine days and counting and I know I won't see it on Christmas so 11 days plus already. What is one to do?

Not just longer, you might need ones that have a "cone" seat versus the Audi "ball/radius" seat.

Default Some wheels will require longer lug bolts (our cars don't use nuts). It depends on how deep the
face of the wheel is. My BBS RCs required new bolts, and a different set of locks.
