Default Wheel Nuts

I have just purchased a set of 18" buddy club wheels (as pictured below - not on my car I must add) and was just wondering if anyone can suggest a set of wheel nuts to complement these wheels, as I will be using the OEM ones and want something to improve the looks of the wheels.

Thanks

OEM lug nuts will not provide the safest and proper torque to hold your wheels on.

OEM Honda wheels = ball/radius seat
Aftermarket = acorn/taper seat

Ok thanks for that. Is there any particular nuts you would recommend e.g. where to buy from?

You can check with the vendors here or check ebay since you're in the UK.

Muteki is a good brand that is reasonable pricing. You also have project kics which are more on the expensive end. And then most of the major japanese wheel manufacturers make lug nuts as well (Work, Volk etc), but usually pricey.

Its up to you in what you want, nearly any color you can imagine is available from all of the above listed as well as open ended, short, long, close ended etc.

Muteki also gets my vote. You can order them on Amazon. I would just get some black ones as every set of red ones I have had fade into a pink color very fast.
