do these lug nuts fit the oem wheels
http://www.jcwhitney.com/product.jhtml?CATID=158731
i bought a set of black ones, i put a set on one wheel and they seem to hold fine, but i'm not sure, b/c the seating surface of the new ones are like a cone, and the oem ones are similar, just that the cone is more rounded, ......thanks

Don't use them. As you point out, the OEM lug nuts have a spherical contact surface that mates with the wheels in a wide area, because the surface of the wheels is spherical too. Most aftermarket lug nuts have a conical surface, which means they only mate with the wheels in a circle, not over a wide area. That means they're more likely to wear that circle down, which could result in the lug nuts loosening up and, well, I don't need to tell you what happens then.

i think the way to look at it is this: if its suspension, brake, or wheel related, if you dont know, stay with OEM until you're 110% positive of safety.
