Hey guys, I recently got a set of 5zigen rims, the really popular ones, I cant remember the name. I searched but I cant find out if my lugnuts will work on the rims.
If they dont, Im not sure what kind of aftermarket lugnuts I will need. Do I buy the open ended long ones, or do I buy the nut looking kind?
Usually with aftermarket wheels, the tolerance for the size of the wheel lug is generally pretty small. That being said, stock lug nuts usually are too big.
Look for M12 x 1.5.
Personally, I use McGard wheel lugs and locks. They have a floating collar on the seat of them and it helps/prevents/reduces wheel studs from breaking.
Kind of off topic, but my rims didn't come with center caps. Do they make universal centercaps for rims? I don't really feel like spending 100 dollars on a set. Thanks.

I don't believe they really make "universal" ones or at least, I have never seen them. You probably could use center caps from other wheels if the size is the same and they "lock" into place the same way.
Those are ok. Do you need/want wheel locks? If not, my recommendation is to get lugs that can be taken off with a regular socket. That way you aren't worried about losing the lock key.
