If your Mugen nuts are like these:

They are tapered, not acorn, and will not work with stock Honda wheels.

I gave you a quick answer...... search for "lug" or "lugs" or "lugnuts" next time.

You have to use stock lugnuts with stock wheels. Aftermarket wheels have an "acorn" seat where stock wheels have a "ball" seat.

No, they don't. Maybe you need to go find an acorn for reference.

Your "quick" question has been answered correctly several times. You don't seem to want to hear it though...

exactly. Any 12x1.5 60 degree tapered nut should work.

Agreed. Use tapered when they are called for and ball when they are called for. There is no logical reason to use the wrong type except in an emergency and you have no way to get the other type (flat tire, etc).

and those aren't them, spoon's nuts for OE wheels are grey. Just cause it's on there doesn't mean it will work properly in the long run. I'd get those changed out too.

It's not so much that they wont work...but that if you really want to find out what happens if you do use them.

The Spoon Gunmetal Lugs are for OEM wheels, so use the Spoon or get OEM ones. Les Schawb also sells lug nuts.
