Default Which Lugs do I need?

Hey guys, did some researching on this and couldnt find a definitive answer to my question. I have a 97 civic ex coupe and I just bought some brand new 16" Konig forward wheels but I wanna make sure I get the right lugs that have the right kind of seat. I dont want my wheels falling off or getting damaged. I know I cant use my oem ones and Im guessing I need aftermarket lugs that are tapered on the ends but Im just not sure.
Thanks

Here are the ones I was looking at getting

Yes, those lug nuts could work. You do need to have conical lug seat lug nuts.

$220 lugnuts!

Mutekis have always worked great for me and they are around $40...

Also good advice, since there's really no call for expensive lug nuts (especially if they don't even have a locking lug nut).

Thanks for the advice guys

And actually the only reason I want get the Project Kics lugs is because they have the spinning seats to help protect the wheels when tourqing them down. Otherwise I would just get the $40-$60 ones like suggested.

I have those, and they work well. Live a little!

Matt, they require keys. How is that not locking?

Yea Im prob gonna get the R40's and the set Im getting will definently require a key. They arent cheap but niether are my wheels/tires and I believe its worth the extra $$$ for some peace of mind. And they look bad *** too lol.

I've seen sets of lug nuts come without keys, and still cost $220+. I was making a broad statement, bud. I see that my post was rather difficult to understand in that respect. My apologies.
