Default lug nuts for aftermarket wheels

I purchased a set of American Racing AR 172 polished Baja wheels on line for my Ranger & I need to get new lug nuts & wheel locks. For those who have installed new wheels what brand lug nuts did you use & what was the part number for them?.
Thanks, Mike.

I've had great sucess with McGard brand lug nuts.

http://shop.mcgard.com/

I also haven't heard anything 'bad' about the Gorilla brand either - solid choice as well.

I'm sure you're after a standard 60 degree, closed end, 1/2''-20 RH thread size acorn/conical setup if you want to get technical - otherwise, just use their vehicle selector & they will set you up!

I gotta get a set of those in black for the truck. We use McGuard locks on all nissans at work and I've only seen 1 lock lug that broke.
