Default Quick lug nut question...

Not sure if this is the correct place but....

Would there be any problem using aftermarket Muteki lug nuts that were used on OEM wheels, on aftermarket wheels again?

Those nuts have probably already been ruined. But whether or not they have been, no you can't.

Most aftermarket lugs have a taper seat for taper seat wheels, while OEM Honda wheels make use of a radius (ball) seat. If they are taper seat nuts, they were already used incorrectly and are probably damaged. If they are a radius seat nut, then they won't seat correctly on an aftermarket wheel (unless you have an oddball radius seat aftermarket wheel).

This is all explained in the FAQ...
