I’m sure you can use your stock lug nuts. I don’t know if eBay lug nuts are good... it can strip or break easy because it’s so cheap. Use stock lug for while till you have enough money to get quality one... it’s up to you.

Factory Honda lug nuts have a ball seat. The majority of aftermarket wheels out there use a conical seat. So, in a word, no. You cannot re-use your Honda factory lug nuts.

The lug nuts you linked to seem to be bargain basement lug nuts (much like most things on eBay). I wouldn't feel confident using them.

Muteki is about as cheap as I can recall, that's at least a reputable brand. They off open lug nuts in black, and possibly gold as well.

Conical seat is what you're looking for. There's really no need for a universal lug nut, as it can cause seating issues.
