need help finding the right lug nuts

so I just bought a set of 01 wheels to replace my current 19" wheels
I just called a local nissan dealer wanting to get 20 lug nuts to put them on my 02 maxima....they wanted $6 a piece....which is gonna be $120 + tax
I was wondering if its possible to go to local autozone to get them? probably cheaper ...
the question is, is there a specific size that I need to look for?
thanks in advance

Auto Zone, or try a local tire and wheel shop. They have them in bulk, and they'll know what size and thread you need.

FWIW, I *think* it's M12x1.25, but I might not be remembering right.

Got mine from summit. Good prices and they ship lightning fast.

Those specific ones are tuner lugs meaning they are small enough to fit most if not all aftermarket wheels.

12x1.25 is correct.

I would stay away from "tuner" spline-drive lugs though. They look cool, but the tools break easily and then you're stuck with no way to get the wheel off. Ask me how I know from both personal and friends' experience

I just bought some Muteki SR48 lug nuts for $57 on ebay. They're the "tuner" style to fit my new 5zigens, but they're not spline drive, just a regular 17mm.

Did I make the right choice getting the 17mm nuts over the splined ones?

I got mine from NAPA to replace about 5 of my lugs that got messed up due to cross threading done at the freaking discount tire shop! IIRC i paid about 2 bucks each.

I'm looking for replacement lug nuts for my 02 Maxima. I have volk racing wheels and most standard lugs don't fit because they don't fit through the wheel. I need an ET style nut...i've tried volco and natioanl tire warehouse in the vancouver are...any idea where I can find these?
