Got the wheels... now what else?
Hey all,
I just bought a set of 17" Acura TSX wheels for my 04 Accord.
They are in great condition but I am not sure what else I need to buy for them before I bring them to discount tire and get them installed with new tires.
They did not come with anything except the wheels themselves and I'm wondering if I need lugnuts/bolts and tire caps.
Anybody?
Thanks

Get 4 new caps from Acura and buy the tuner-lugs from ..say AutoZone..they sell them in a set including a locking lug nut for each wheel...
New caps will look good...used ones will not .

So it doesn't matter that I am using Acura wheels for my 04 accord, right? The lug nuts are paired with the car and not specific to the wheel?

They're kinda both, but Acura & Honda should use the same.
The CAR needs to have the proper thread size & pitch.
The WHEEL needs to have the proper shape of the nut where it bears against the wheel. Conical, spherical, or flat seats.

Thanks Jim,
I tried utilizing the search function to no avail.
I'm really wondering if I should just have the guys at discount tire use my gorilla lugs from my current set of TSW wheels, they are chrome but still in good condition... any suggestions?
Also took a look at these on ebay:

And then of course, I could go to AutoZone like Wheels told me to...
