Will these work with my current wheels?

M12x1.5 is a metric thread standard used on most import vehicles and many domestic cars. Verify your current lug nut thread size before ordering — if you're unsure, remove one and measure the diameter and pitch, or check your owner's manual.

Do I need to use a torque wrench when installing these?

Yes. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for the correct torque specification — over-tightening aluminum nuts can strip threads, and under-tightening creates safety risk. Always use a calibrated torque wrench.

Can I paint over the red anodized finish?

The anodized surface resists adhesion. If you want to paint, light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper will prepare the finish, but the red anodize is durable as-is and doesn't require top coating.
