Bought 19's need help with mounting +Lugs and Locks?

HI guys I just bought 19" rims from a guy in my area..he had them on his 03 Tl for 2 months and basically crashed his car so i bought it from him ..they are in super good condition....here is a pic if you guys want to see...https://acurazine.com/forums/ramblings-12/whats-wrong-mtv-176538/

He didnt gave me any lugs or locks because he is going to use them on his new jetta GLi ...So anyways do you guys know where can i get the lugs and lock and what color will look nice with Black rims? should i get chrome lugs and locks or black? Where can i get them if anyone can help me find em ..i went to pepboys they got sum cheap ass lugs which look just silver.....

Do i need anythign else to mount the rims a Camber Kit or anything? i mounted and tested the wheels in my car before i bought them to see if theres any rubs or anythign and i turned the streering wheel and there was no rub at all and they fit perfectly..I cant wait to put them on Help me out please...first time putting 19"s on my car all my other cars came with the rims......
Thanks

Just pick up some tuner lugs (smaller diameter to fit into the small lug holes of custom wheels). And congrats on the wheels, they are gonna look sick. Can't wait to see pics!

You won't need a camber kit. But you WILL need to get an alignment. You can get tuner lug nuts at just about ANY tire center. If not, you can find them online. Muteki makes them, and you can get them for cheap. Your lug size should be 12x1.5...I hope that helps!

The car is already lowered. Putting the wheels on in no way will affect his alignment.

that rims will sure look good on your car. Congrats! Bring one of your rim to any local tire center to test the fitment of the lugs if you're unsure. Most tunner lugs should fit as long as they are small size. Judging from how low your car right now, those 19" should fit fine with no rub; except now you might want to lowering it more!

if i were you, i'd get the wheels balanced, then do an alignment.

The handling would have changed due to the plus sizing of your wheels with a smaller yet harder sidewall. I'd just get it done right if i were you.

Yeah, but the suspension geometry stays exactly the same. No alignment is needed when you change wheels lol.

all you might need before putting new rims in is balance the wheels, no need for alignment unless you haven't do alignment for a long time.
