Got these center line wheels over the weekend. Got them mounted today would like to know what lug nuts are to be used? The wheels are for a brand x pickup. Center line website was no help, only showed new rims.
What lug nuts??

Those dont look like centerlines, rather a knock off so to speak, also kind of hard to tell by the picture provided but it looks like standard acorn nuts. I’m not sure what thread pitch you need as you didn’t give specifics on your truck. Any parts store should have chrome acorn nuts for this application
Good luck

Those are Centerline copies, they use the acorn style lug nuts.

I know I'm right....
acorns on ALuminum? Ouch! thats a crack waiting to happen. Centerlines used a deep shank lug that pretty much centered the rim on the bolt circle. Are they conical seats? I guess acorns will do with a conical seat. Western Wheel Outlaws?

I wouldn’t use this. It has more of a traditional style shank associated with a mag nut. These wheels are copy cat wheels and should only use a standard acorn nut as per my attached picture.
The thread pitch is 7/16"x 20. It is on a 56 chevy truck They need a longer shank to fit the slots. It has conical seats. I got a lug nut from the tire installer and it looks like the one car nut mopar master pictured. It works.

It requires no shank. Yes they will probably work but you risk them bottoming out on the stud itself (some studs do slightly protrude beyond the drum) or the drum and also galling in the wheel itself. The wheel centres on the bevel not the flange, the flange on that one style nut would even touch the wheel.
I have a lot of experience with these and a standard acorn is what you need. Good luck
