If the wheels are optional honda wheels then you cant use those muteki wheel nuts as theyre for aftermarket wheels.

Few questions, your car is LHD yet you say you found a japanese yen in it...how did it get there, JDM cars are RHD...

You have a Vi sticker on the rear but the engine has a down draft throttle body, where as the Vi has a side draft throttle body with the same airbox/intake pipe as an EK4 SiR?

like the guy said before, if youre using stock wheels; having aftermarket lugnuts on them is a bad idea. they wont seat right. your should save youre money and buy a swap, instead of buying 2 beaks bars.......

What lug nuts do I need?

The "seating area" (or "seat") is the area of the lug nut, and the area of the wheel, that come in contact with each other. Stock Honda/Acura wheels have a ball/radius/spherical shaped seating area, and need lug nuts (such as stock lug nuts) which also have the same shaped seat. After market wheels use a tapered/conical/cone shaped seating area and need lug nuts (including most tuner lug nuts) which also have the same shaped seat. No, it is not safe to mix and match (stock wheel with tapered lugs or vice versa); the contact between the lug nut and the wheel will be insufficient, putting undue stress on them and potentially causing failure.
