Best to buy the thin aftermarket ones, then they will fit all wheels :)

my 20's have those one but they are tapered. I need the other kind, its pointless buying them if they wont fit :(
Argh I hate my car sometimes lol

Take one of the wheels into a tyre shop and get them to look at it. Putting tapered wheel nuts into an alloy wheel when it needs the flat with washer type is not a good idea.
Factory alloys take the flat washer ones which the VRX wheels are. Any reputable tyre/wheel place should have them. I am pretty sure they all have the same thread and bolt hole sizes.
I have a spare set from my factory alloy but would probably cost more than its worth mailing it to you.

They'll cost more new, so I'd take him up on it

Absolutely. I'm pretty sure they're normally about $15-20 for a bag of 6 from the dealer!

if you can get them for $25 do it - its super hard to find those wheel nuts as i believe they are specific to the ROH Series 2 rim - on that note i have a full set of those rims and nuts lying around at home somewhere...
At $25 for a set of 6 (?), I would go for them. I paid something like $16 for 1 wheel nut, and another $12 or so for a stud for my Pajero (mag wheels). That was from a stealership. I knew I was being fleeced, but I needed a new stud, so I had to pay up.
