Maya owners: What lugs do you use?

For any Maya wheel owners out there, what lugs do you use? The shop where I got my used wheels from said to use the OEM lugs. A good friend of mine said I should be using aftermarket ones. Can any owner or anyone in the know shed some light? Can you specify what kind, length, size, ...?

Better yet, just let me know where you got yours.

I have a set of DLS if that helps.

Thanks for any help.

Take out a lug and see if it is conical or ball seat. Honestly I have ran OEM ball seat type lugs on aftermarket rims without a problem but its not the best idea.

I am planning to remove a bolt and check. I just figured I'd check to see if anyone knows for sure. Like your experience, I do have the wheels on right now with the OEM lugs and things seem OK. Still, I'd rather get the "correct" set of lugs if OEM truly is not optimal.

I have the DTV's and I got them from California Wheels in San Jose. Give Tommy a call and ask him because I dont remember what type they put on. I've had them for 3 years now and still holding up just fine.
