Default Washers on Wheel Locks?

I picked up a set of wheel locks for my blades today at the local kragen and when I opened up the package i noticed a washer for every nut. Is this normal? The directions (if you want to call it that) say to only use the washers if the wheels were designed for it. Do I use it or not?

Any recommendations for wheel locks? i don't know if these mr. lugnut's are good quality.

no need for the washers. are the nuts acorn or taper style?
acorn is curved ( ) at contact, tapper is / \ at contact.
the one to use on stock honda wheels is acorn.
most after market is tappered
