Stock Honda/Acura wheels have a ball-shaped seating area and need lug nuts with the same shape seating area. Most aftermarket wheels have a tapered (conical) seating area and need lug nuts with the same shape seating area. See illustration below.
Sometimes sellers provide lug nuts with the wheels. Otherwise, you can buy lug nuts at your local auto parts store or tire shop. You can use plain old generic lug nuts that probably cost you about a buck apiece, or you can use more expensive tuner type lug nuts with color and/or locking features, your choice.

It wasn't a question of preference it was a question of which lug nut is appropriate for the new wheels.

he's going from stock (ball/radius) to aftermarket (conical) so he'll need to pick some aftermarket lugnuts up.
OP, i have no complaints of my muteki tuner-style nuts.
