[2006BOPxB]

Hi, when I bought my used OEM 15" x 6" 7-spoke alloys recently, I knew I'd need new lug nuts.
I went to NAPA Auto Parts, explained what I needed, and they sold me a box of lug nuts.
When I got home, I found that the lug nuts were flat, and came with washers -- but I'm pretty sure I need 'acorn' style, don't I?
Can someone who knows for sure, weigh in on this? I'd appreciate it - for the record, here's what they sold me:

But here's what the wheel looks like - the holes seem like they'd need acorns:

Thanks for any advice!!

Looks acorn to me but check with Myopic and make sure....think he has those same wheels.

Definitely acorn. 12mm x 1.5 thread IIRC. Just got done buying new ones on eBay not too long ago. Came to about a buck per nut, shipped.

2006BOPxB - The EM-7 wheels you have are hub-centric and use a self-centering conical lug nut as pictured below. Either a close-ended (acorn) cap lug nut, or an open-ended lug nut, will fit.

Also, the ones they sold you will not work with your xB's OEM spare wheel.

Looking forward to seeing your xB with the EM-7's mounted.

@Myopic, @jawhn, & @04_Toaster -- thank you for the info!! I knew those flat ones weren't right! I'll grab some conical ones and get some pics asap!
Do you recommend getting the locking nut for each wheel?

... Do you recommend getting the locking nut for each wheel?

Yes, although this is can be a no-win scenario. If they really want your wheels the pros will get them. Having wheels locks will not stop a thief, it only slows down the amateur ones. If there is only one lock on a wheel, they will undo the three lugs and use the wheel as a fulcrum to break the remaining lug. Having two or more locking nuts is a maintenance and flat tire nuisance but makes a more effective deterrent. Also, it is a good idea to get a spare lock nut key.

Thanks again, everyone, for the tips! Got a lugnut set with locks, and treated myself to shiny new center caps as well.

Sure thing; I love how these look on the xB!

I bought these via Facebook Marketplace; there were 3 wheels with tires, for $95.

The two I'm using have 185/65 R15 tires; I put them on the front to correct the speedometer error. The third rim had a different size tire so I'm not using it at the moment; when I get a fourth rim I'll put 185/65's on both and add them to the back.

Passenger side has a couple of deep gouges, like it hit a curb hard at some point.
