They will, but only temporarily. They don't seat properly like the rounded seat on the standard lug nutz.

they work, but it's not very safe. find some oem lugs asap, then you can use 1 tuner as a lug lock

hmmm. ??

looks like 50/50. Why is it unsafe to run tuner lugs on stock wheels? I wanted some red aftermarket lugs for my SI's.

factory lugs have an acorn shaped seating area, while tuner lugs have a tapered seating area. the factory alloy is made for an acorn style lug, so if you use a tuner lug, you wont have the maximum contact area that you could have with an acorn lug. i think people say it is unsafe because the lugs can loosen and fall off or something (worst case scenario?)

from my experience, i ran kyokugen lugs on my honda vx alloys for over a year with no problems at all.
