You're going to need different lugnuts for use with allow wheels. They taper differently and are not interchangeable. Depending on the wheels, you can probably use stock alloy lugs.

Thoes lugs you linked to will work but they wear out quickly. Eventually the key or nuts will wear out and you will get the key stuck in them.

You normally dont want to use stock lugnuts on aftermarket wheels. The tapers may be slightly different, the taper on the factory lugs may be damaged due to over torquing or gouged from being installed on a steel wheel. Or you run into the problem that you did were the shoulder of the lug nut is larger then the lug nut hole of the wheel.

I suggest getting these.

You can get them in chrome too.

If your going to paint the center caps white then get black lugs. I think black, white, and chrome is a bit to much.
