Special lug nuts

IIRC, some of the Diamond Racing wheels require a special lug nut that you have to purchase of Diamond Racing. Anyone know if these wheels would require them?

got a diamond racing question. im looking into a set of pro series and wanted to know about the backspacing. im not a wheel guy so what would be a good backspace to make them as close to stock as possible? maybe a half inch or so out past the fenders? thanks
