Hey i bought some cobra R replica wheels. I was told the factory lugs would work! But they dont! The sidewalls on the wrench are too big to fit in the lug hole of the wheel. What lugs do i need to buy? where can i get them? No parts stores have them here! help?!

You may have to use a thinwall socket. I bought a 1/2" drive Craftsman because if it ever breaks, they will replace it for free.

You will also need a deep socket.

i don't know if it's different from 95 replicas, to 00 replicas, but i have the 95 replicas for now. i went to autozone & got akorn lug nuts, i believe they were 21mm. but no socket would work, i had to get a thin wall deep socket for it, a 13/16 to be exact

jimfitzgerald is right, it has to ba a deep thinwall socket. Also don't forget that you have to keep that socket in the car, in case of a flat tire. I bought a cheap $5 beam-type torque wrench, mounted the socket on it, and jammed both into the spare tire well.

Or get some spline drive lugnuts. I picked up a set at Discount tire with the tool for $25-$30 I think.
