Default what lug nuts are you orden guys using?

anytime you are running aftermarket wheels you should be running aftermarket lugs.

oem lugs were made to fit OEM wheels

I don't remember exactly but aren't the oem lugs mag seal or ball seat?? You should be using 60 degree acorn lugs for sure, or else you risk your lugs coming loose.

I'm just using cheap ebay neo chrome beater lugs at the moment, I'll probably swap to works with my new wheels

Ordens with stock lugs?? No those lugs are not proper at all they are not seating like they should, you need 60 degree conical lugs.

Otherwise Leon's deserve something nice, like titanium lugs..

I just got these titanium lugs a couple weeks ago from dressupbolts.com this new style with the cap are not listed on the website yet, but if you email them they can help you with colors, styles, and pricing. I've got matching wheel bolts for my works on the way from there as well.

I suggest go with good aftermarket one. Or else you're going to get your wheels stolen.

Just get standard 12x1.5 thread pitch with 60 degree acorn seat lug nut with 19mm (3/4) head should work. Only use the OEM nuts for OEM wheels. And invest in a good set of lock nuts.
