Depends on what the wheels require. My Mustang wheels will fit my Vibe, but they require the tapered style lug nuts, while the regular Vibe aluminum wheel use the flat lug nuts with washers.

If you have steel wheels, you have the tapered style lug nuts. Most likely you will need the flat ones for aluminum wheels.

When i bought some for my son's car, I just looked up on ebay for lug nuts and found a set for about $20 shipped like these:

Typically aftermarket wheels will require tuner-style lug nuts which are a thinner lug nut to fit in the holes of the aftermarket wheels properly. The size you will need will still be the factory 12mm x 1.5mm.

They're expensive, but I highly recommend McGard's SplineDrive tuner-style lug nuts. These are hands down the best quality lug nuts on the market. Well worth the money IMO.
