i just got 17 inch racing hart rims, i dont know which model, from my cousin's friend but it didnt come with any lugs nuts, i was wondering if i could use my OEM lug nuts along with these rims or would i have to buy different lugs to that would fit those rims

My shop that sold me the rims gave me a set for 12 bucks. HOWEVER, be sure to keep a set of the factory lugs in the glove box in case you get a flat, and you'll have to carry a second lugwrench (as the OE spare lugwrench is for factory lugs, you'll need a 19mm ratchet/wrench for the "tuner" lugs).

My aftermarket socket fits in my spare wrench for the oem lugs. But I keep a 4-way in the backseat just incase.
