Default lugnuts for Miata wheels?

I just picked up a set of Miata 14" wheels and I'm wondering if they run the tapered lugs or the stock Honda style "ball" lug nuts? They look like tapered, but I want to be sure.

Here's a pic just for the hell of it.


oh and yes, they are already bored out to fit a Honda hub

thanks for the "help" ... I figured since so many Honda drivers use these wheels that someone here might know....

They will if you bore out the hub to the correct size. Mine are already bored out to fit a Honda hub.

I bought them pre-bored, I've heard anywhere from $60 to $120 for a machine shop to bore them.

I don't have a pic and they're on the car now, but they look to be bored about 1/4" in.
