Default slim lug nuts

i bought new wheels and tires for my girlfriends Prelude, the only problem is that the OEM lugnuts are too wide to get a 4 way on.

where's a good place to buy slimer lug nuts with the appropriate thread pattern?

they are universal knock off wheels by the way..

Most parts stores and tire shops carry "tuner" lug nuts, which is what you want. The external spline drive ones are usually better quality than the internal key ones. When I installed my wheels, I noticed you couldn't fit a regular socket or 4 way into the hole with the standard lug nuts. You can fit a slim socket in there, which is what I do. I figured almost every thief has a spline socket to steal wheels, but who carries a thin 19mm?

you need tuner lugs with a conical taper. Stock lug nuts are acorn style with ball tapers. even if you could fit them, the stock lug nuts would mess up your wheels.
