NOTE: LUG NUTS ARE MADE WITH TAPERED BOTTOMS SPECIFICALLY FOR AFTERMARKET WHEELS. DO NOT USE THESE TUNER LUGS FOR YOUR FACTORY WHEELS. WE NO LONGER ACCEPT RETURNS ON LUG NUTS FROM CUSTOMERS WHO ATTEMPT TO USE THEM ON FACTORY WHEELS. THESE LUGS ALSO DO NOT FIT ON SPECIAL WHEELS THAT REQUIRE INVERTED LUGS. WE WILL ALSO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS FROM CUSTOMERS THAT TRY TO USE THEM FOR THESE TYPES OF WHEELS. IF YOU'RE UNSURE, FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US PRIOR TO YOUR PURCHASE.
I guess you missed the whole disclaimer thing huh?

*edit* If you can't figure it out your OEM lugs are "ball" bottoms

The aftermarket ones won't seat correctly on the wheels and will either destroy the wheel and/or rattle themselves off.

Stock ones have a ball (or acorn) seat - aftermarket lugs are a straight taper.

When I bought my car - it had aftermarket wheels with the stock lugs and quite a few of the lugs were *very* loose.

The guy that sold the previous owner the wheels insisted that they were OK - but I changed them quickly after finding the loose ones...

You can't.

Get CR or NSX lugs if you want something different than chrome lugs.
