Default Question: I'm mounting aftermarket 17" rims - will my factory lug nuts work? Thanks!
If not, I also have a set of "gorilla locks" which I used on my '98 A4 (w/17" rims) - will these fit my '02?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Default As long as the lug openings on you new rim have conical seats. If custom bolts are required, they'll
usually come with the wheels.

Default most likely not...
Audi uses ball-seat type lugbolts, wheareas most aftermarket rims require cone-seat type lugbolts.
