Hi there,
I didn't, changed mine from steels to RX8 and the original nuts were fine. Recommend you get locking wheel nuts and if your old nuts are rusty get some covers for them, far cheaper than new nuts that will probably rust anyhow.

My missus said my old nuts were a bit pathetic,said she'd seen some much better nuts around the time, so i asked her to get her hands on em for me.

I used the antipit ones, they work well and are holding up well too, still look like new. They are a very snug fit so I used a little light grease on the insides to make removal easier later on.
