Default Gorilla lug nuts with OEM steelies?

I have a set of aftermarket Gorilla lug nuts and Rotas on my car, i'm thinking of putting some steelies on and I just want to know if i need to get some OEM lug nuts, or would the gorilla ones work safely?

from what i've seen you should be fine....its the bevel where the lug meets the rim. which should look like the same angle as an oem style.

Entirely depends on the seat of the Rotas. OEM Honda wheels use an "acorn" or "ball" style seat (same thing, different names).

My Rota Slipstreams use a taper seat, and are not compatible with OEM lugnuts.

I would assume all Rotas use the same seat (could be wrong here), in which case, you'll want the correct lugs for the new wheels you intend to install.

You'll need a set of acorn seat lugnuts for the OEM wheels.
