The Kyokugen lugs, like other tuner lugs, have a tapered design. This allows them to seat properly on aftermarket wheels. Stock Honda lugs have a rounded "acorn" shape because factory Honda wheels have this rounded seat. I recall seeing a few people using "tuner" lugs on Honda wheels, as well as people using Honda lugs on aftermarket wheels, but I personally wouldn't do it. HTH.
BTW - I just installed the Kyokugen's on my Slipstreams and I couldn't be happier with them. You might want to use some anti-seize on the studs for peace of mind when it comes time to remove them.

Anti-Seize?? Is that a good idea?? I personally wouldn't put anti-seize on my studs. I put some anti-seize on my brake components when I did my last pad change, and two days later I lost a couple bolts...Just something to consider...

I always use anti-seize on my studs and have never lost a wheel or lugnut. As long as the lugs are tightened to spec then it will be fine. But if you feel safer not using it then by all means go for it.

Yeah, I'm sure it's not really dangerous if you have them torqued down. I was just mentioning it because you never know what might happen.

Yea, you never know. But I hate working on something and finding I have to break my back or tools trying to get it off.
