if your running aftermarket rims on your old school - are you using acorn style lug nuts or mag style lugs nuts ?

What JohnB said. The style of rim dictates the style of lug nut to use.

A Y2K wheel should have a conical seat. Most modern wheels are conical seat (acorn style) with the exception of some of the Weld and Centerline drag racing wheels.
