Default Lost my lug nuts

I've seem to lost my lug nuts for my aftermarket wheels. How do I find out which one/size I need?
The only info I have of my aftermarket rim is 18x8.0 and bolt pattern 5x114.3 ..I'm not sure what the offset is when I checked on the rim site it was stating 38 or 45 I dont remember what I had and I was also running a wheel adapter.

I know the brand was Gorilla, and that's about it. How do I find out which set to get now? because I'm not sure which will fit.

You need more info, but depend on how you lose it... your current nuts might not be correct.

it is winter time so i assume the wheels were off the car. aftermarket wheels need aftermarket lugs so they were probably misplaced.

op, id go with the mcgard splinedrive. ive always had good luck with them. the size you need is 12x1.5

Most likely aftermarket wheels have an acorn cut on there lugs. Also see if the hubcentric rings are there too

Sorry guys, I meant to say hub rings!! not wheel adapters lol.

@worker I was relocating and misplaced it somewhere, it's a mess right now and I've been looking for days but no luck lol.

@IXI187IXI yeah the wheels are off for winter lol but I want to have everything set when spring hits. so the size I need is 12mm x 1.50 ? and what about the thread and other sizes on the nuts? I had the wheel shop installed it for me years ago so I'm not too familiar with the specs.

@ibidu1 hub rings are there too, so I need acorn?

Look at your wheels and determine what you need. But like I said most aftermarket wheels run Acorn.
