Default aftermarket lug nuts

has anyone used aftermarket lug nuts (muteki) on acura integra LS wheels or any other acura/honda OEM wheels? i just recently bought a set of 195/55-15 kumho tires for my LS wheels, and i don't want to get them jacked, seeing as how their is a shitload of thieves here.

just wondering if it is safe? i am not really trying to use my stock lugs that came with my steelies, that's why i have been deciding to put muteki open ended lug nuts on my LS wheels. what should i do?????? use aftermarket lug nuts w/ key (steal prevention) or the stock ones (anyone with a tire iron can remove these)? HELPPPPPPPPPPP!

You should not use a tuner lug on a stock wheel, it's not safe. The seat of the lug is made specifically for the type of wheel you're using. Stock wheels use acorn style lug seats, while tuner wheels use conical shaped lugs.
Why not keep the stock lugs, and purchase a wheel lock set?
