Do the stock lug bolts work with aftermarket rims or is it a "depends on the rim" type of deal?

I'm looking to buy black rims (otherwise, I'd probably be at TireRack), but the company I was going to buy them from is out of stock. So, I'm looking elsewhere and not everyone offers all hardware as an option.

I'm looking at buying Rota rims.

Given that Tire Rack is such a great company and sponser/advertise in everything I read (NAM, GRM, etc) I would love to order rims from them.

But, alas, no black. Hyperblack, yes. Graphite, yes. But I really want black.

Thanks.

>>I'm looking at buying Rota rims.

Rob, I appologize, as I don't know enough about
Rota to comment on hardware needed.

I know there are plenty of users here with Rota wheels.

I made an adjustment to your thread title,
hopefully to bring in the Rota motorers!

Alex

Thanks, Alex! As usual, you rock! (course, you're making me feel bad by offering such great service and not carrying black rims)

BTW, I did go check out the Tire Rack again, just to see if you carry anything even close enough to black. Although you don't

Thanks to everyone for their help. The guy selling the Rota's was more expensive than I really wanted to pay (see my other post). So it looks like I'll have to wait until the others come in stock.

I actually considerd going ahead and buying silver rims from the Tire Rack last night, but I saw 2perCooper's car, and realized that black is what I want. Oh well, thanks, anyway.
