Lug nuts for OE style wheels?
I've been searching, but I am not finding what I am looking for.
I need to buy some new lug nuts and for OE style wheels, do I need acorn or bulge acorn lug nuts? I'd pull one off the car and look but I am not home.
Any special brand I should find? I'm not interested in locking lug nuts.

You need taper (conical) seat M12x1.25. Your post is vague though. Original equipment on some Maxima's is alloy wheels, and on some OE is steel wheels. The steel wheels usually get an acorn type, with the alloys having an closed end type. The acorn type is necessary on steel wheels because the steel wheel is not as thick as the alloy wheels, so the close end type may not be able to be tightened on steel wheels. Alloy wheels get the closed type because of aesthetics.

So I need the conical non-acorn then.

These should get the job done, eh?
