Default Lug nuts

Now what the heck is going on.

I search for the proper honda m12x1.50 open end lug nut and keep getting reffered to ball\radius seat lug nuts which is right.... Right?

When ever I go to a reliable source on eBay or summit for a set of nuts the search always comes up with a m12X1.50 bulge cone seat????

I checked my cars old tired studs\nuts just now and I have the roundish seats.

Now I am about to install some ARP extended studs for my slicks and need the open end nuts. Can I go with the bulge cone seat (60 degree bulge) as stated by the sellers on ebay and summit?

Is it okay to run the bulge cone seat on honda rims? Because that is what my searches say.

no, run conical(coned) seated nuts on after market rims such as rotas, volk, etc and the ball seated nuts on oem honda/acura rims.

I think you are getting confused about the exterior end which has nothing to do with the mating seat.

OEM Honda wheels = bulge/radius/ball seat
Aftermarket wheels = tuner/conical/tapered seat

It's all in the FAQ bud.

If you need open-ended lug nuts with a ball seat for Honda/Acura wheels, Honda sells them. You can find the part number in the FAQ topic stickied at the top of this forum.
