Default 5 lug Question on em1!

Ok my em1 has a itr conversion on it, and i heard that you were not suppose to put aftermarket lug nuts on the itr wheels because the lugs would loosen up by themselves. I need to know if that's true or not?

The Correct lug nuts to use are spherical or Ball seat style NOT acorn like kyden stated.
Most aftermarket wheels have a taper or 60 degree seat.

Just search wikipedia and you can find your answers.
