this type of lug nut cone shape, some ppl tell me won't work w/ oem rim. i wont want my wheel falls off .

 

yeah.. they will be kosher.. i have seen lots of people use the BLOX lugs on hella different rims..

 

i ment the style of the lug nut actually, supposedly they are calleD CONE SHAPE some ppl tell me that "type" won't work on oem wheels and now im confused lol i dont want my wheels falling off

 

no, use the proper acorn nuts for OEM wheels

 

really? why is that? im just curious

my boy had those on his type r with the white type r rims, the gun metal type r rims, the JDM white type r rims, and on his hatch he had 99 Si's with those..

 

The variations are in the seat type. You don't want to wedge an acorn onto a flat surface. You want the lug shape to match the seat on the wheel.

The trouble comes when a wheel is not centered on the hub properly. It can cause the car to vibrate and handle erratically, but the wheel wont necessarily fall off.

Incorrect lugs can throw the wheel off center. Match the lug type to the wheel you intend to use. Don't be a follower.

 

condescend much? lol.. we werent being "followers".. just being curious.. you like turbo's.. does that make you a follower? hahahaha

 

I'm just saying that you should not follow, in your friends footsteps and use lug nuts that are incompatible with your chosen wheel.

Look at the various types of lugnuts on the chart below. Specifically, the seat types. It's easy to see why the most common seat types (spherical and conical) lug nuts are not interchangeable.



I think its safe to assume that you are doing this because you want colored lug nuts. If you want my opinion on the situation, what you are trying to do is absolutely pointless. Why not find some that are the correct seat type?

 

well, what you are saying is not exactly common knowledge.. not everyone knows that.. for instance, i didnt... we werent "following" anyone.. we just didnt know that there were so many different seat types, until you showed us.. sooooo yeah... thanks for the info.. lol.. very good 411...

and so what if he is doing it because they are different colors? there usually isnt a point of putting a big ugly *** tow hook on the front or back of the car, but people do it anyway.. you dont NEED a nice shift **** or steering wheel, but you get those anyway (if thats your thing).. its all in how you want to make your car YOURS..

 

I thought it was common knowledge, but I'm glad that you learned something. And yes, I agree that he can, and should do whatever he wants with his car. I would never argue an opinion, period.

My concern is functionality. In this case, I suggest that you let functionality and safety outweigh appearance. If they don't have the correct seat, find some that do.

 

100% true... looks over safety = nono.. like dumping your car so low that you bounce all over the freeway.. yeah, you look fly and slammed, but too hard of a bump and you lose control? weak sauce.. haha

but yeah.. saftey takes the cake over EVERYTHING.. especially if you are modding your car..

 

I ran those exact lugs and they worked perfectly fine. You Aren't supposto, but your also not supposto run really low offset wheels and stretch the **** out of your tires. I wouldn't track them, but daily who cares.

I used them because thats what i had. If you gotta buy some, dont be a JDM b**tch and get the right ones even if they dont look 'as good'.

 

heres an idea, why dont yall post some links or brands that make OEM replacement lugs that are fancy like the aftermarket ones yall sackride

 

OEM lugs are fine.

 

bump

 

i wasnt planning to buy colored lugs

i already ahve titanium lugs w/ the exact same shape (acorn is it?)

i dont want to shell out a lump of cash for stock lugs, all i have are these. its good to know that the wheel wont fall off so i think i'll go w/ whati have until someone lets me borrow stock lugs or sells em for like 2$ entire set

 

they work, just torque em down right. i have em on my c8's the acorn shaped blox replica one's and i havent had any issue with them.

 

Get the correct, spherical seat lug nuts. The conical ones may appear to work, but you are damaging the lug seats, which will cause the lugs to loosen.

OP, I will succinctly answer your question: no, they will not work.

 

no on oem wheels use acorn style, on aftermarket wheels most need conical style

 

Using the wrong lugs FTL. The wheels are the most important safety items on the car. The wrong lugs aren't going to seat right, will tear up your wheels and won't stay tight. It's no wonder there are so many broke @$$ Integras running around today with all the corners people are cutting. At least if everyone ruins their cars mine will be worth more some day.

 

i still dont know what style lug nut the OEM lugs are from all the bickering in this thread

 

OEM wheels use spherical seat and aftermarket wheels use conical seat. I have no idea why.

 

Actually, it's fairly common knowledge, at least it is among people who know a little bit about wheels. It's also well-described in the FAQ topic stickied at the top of the Wheel and Tire Forum on this site.

The reason why is exactly as described above. The area where the wheels and lug nuts come into contact is called the "seating area" or "seat". When lug nuts and wheels have the same shape seating area, they come into contact across that entire area. When they don't, they only come into contact along a circle, not across an area. This wears down that edge of the lug nut and/or wheel, and they work loose. Some people get lucky and don't have the wheels work loose, but that really is a matter of luck; the risk is still there, and with obviously serious consequences.

If you want black lug nuts with the ball-shaped seating area, that can be used on any Honda/Acura car, see the information about NSX lug nuts in that same stickied FAQ topic.

yes they 'work' but as explained above, the lug nut is not seated properly on the wheels
