Looking for a set of aftermarket lugs that will work with my 04/05 stockies... looked at mugen and a few others and they said they would not fit:mcry:

any ideas? or something to look for?

Any input would be appreciated!!!!

In general, OEM wheels use lug nuts with a rounded taper on the base, whereas aftermarket wheels need lug nuts with a straight conical taper. Mixing the two is a recipe for disaster, since the nuts will not properly seat in the wheels.

I've tried to find replacement lug nuts for my LS meshies (OEM Honda, so they use the rounded taper) and I haven't found any aftermarket ones that would fit, so good luck. :mfrown:

I used to use Skunk2 lightweight ones... No real issues with me but then again my wheels were not OEM... But yea, its a waste of money if you ask me. However, it was interesting to hold legs so light. But yea, they were like the "conical/tapered" ones above.

so i could just go to a dealership and ask for nsx lugs or s2k-cr lugs and they'd be like 5 each!?:mtongue:
