Lug Nuts/Wheel Locks
I bought these rims:

Can anyone tell me where I can get lug nuts to fit them? These idiots at the shop seem not to know what size I need and says it depends on the tire? WTF.
If anyone has put on these wheels, let me know. Apparently the shop that my car is at says my front wheels fit with my lug nuts but that my back wheels do not fit.
If anyone has put these wheels on let me know what size lug nuts I need to buy and or where.
Thanks!
I'm not sure why something so easy seems so complicated!

"my front wheels fit with my old amg wheels but that my back ones do not fit".
Don't understand that line.
As far as bolts go, not nuts. First you must know what type of seat the new wheels have, either conical (cone shaped) or ball (round shape) and the size of the seat. A good rule of thumb is an inch of bolt sticking out of the back side of the rim. 6-7 full turns on the bolt to seat. Torque properly. Check for bolts at RAD USA direct. Easy people to deal with and know their sh*t
