Default Alternative CR & NSX Black Lug Nut

hey, so im looking for some black oem lug nuts for my car. (still looking) But $70-80 for OEM lug nuts are over kill.. And thats not even including the OEM Black Locks which cost $60-70 itself... so total would run me $140-150 for OEM LOCKS AND NUTS.... these look like a cheaper alternative than OEM Prices for $30. Has anyone tried these before?

Whoops my bad! sorry I didn't read the bottom footnote on the McGard website (43)Not for use on OEM wheels.

What's the difference in taper seat and ball seat for OEM wheels? Will it not fit correctly?

I thought I heard that the tapers sets can back themselves off when on OEM wheels.
Here's an example of an OEM next an an aftermarket.

Very true!
you are never supposed to use aftermarket lugs on OEM wheels or vice versa
cuz the taper is 60 degrees and the OEM ball is not

I had a couple buddies have their lugs loosen from not having the right lugs
Not a fun experience
