I found out that they are a ball seat...

are there any lug nuts that will work better for that application?? It seems as though all I can find from lug nut to lug nut is the description of size, but not what type of seat they are best suited for...

help!??

 

oem honda lug nuts are ball seated

 

true

are there any aftermarket that are a little more "dressy" that will work? (eg. muteki, skunk2, rays, etc, etc..)

 

Are you SURE they have a ball seat? Almost all aftermarket wheels have a tapered/conical seat...

 

these wheels prolly came off a jetta since bbs ra was a factory option wheel and vdubs used ball seats

 

Not mine! Mine is Conical.

 

interesting...

they did come off a vw... (late 80's gti) I asked around on some vw forums, and was told a ball seat...

I will have a closer look at my rims when I get home and check them out.. is there any surefire way to tell if the rim is conical vs ball, or should it be fairly apparent?

 

the seat would be rounded if it is a ball seat and tapered or acorn tip shaped if it was conical.

 

You can't usually tell from a photograph. When you're looking at them in person, you can tell as long as you know what you're looking for. I find that the easiest way is to run my fingertips along the seating area, where it's easy to feel the shape to know whether it's rounded or conical.
