Factory lug nuts on After-market rims?

Is it ok to use the stock lug nuts on some rims, or no?

You should have no problems. I used them on mine for about 2 days...until I bought a Gorilla Kit which brought lug nuts & locks.

probably not but you will need to check the lug seats on the new wheels. stock lugnuts have a rounded or domed tip that fit onto rounded or domed seats on stock wheels. most aftermarket wheel have a radiused or acorn seat so you will need these types of lugs. using this type of design also helps to make the wheels spin round (ie, lugcentric) if the wheels are not hubcentric.

Like ghander and StanMan said.. you'll need to check your particular rim to see if they'll fit. Mine fit no problem, so I use the factory lugs and lock....

The stocks are rounded, my SSR GT1's were conical....make sure you check that before you use them or they won't seat right.

you can't use the rounded lug nuts on an aftermarket wheel.
