Re: Lug nuts questions
you need "tuner" lug nuts which are pretty common. just check ebay and the size for most hondas is M12x1.5
muteki is a pretty good and cheap brand.

^yea what gearbox said...
but the proper name for them is Acorn style lug nuts because they have a 60 degree angle.
the oem ones u have are probably the ball style lug nuts.

They can also be called spline drive lug nuts.
Most wheel shops should have the cheap mutegi style ones available for less than $30, but if you want a bit of flash you can get high end nuts that run anywhere from $100-500.

if u want high end lug nuts that wont blow a hole thru ur pocket, take a look at BLOX forged aluminum. quality and lightness is the same as the RAYS/VOLKS just not as expensive (ur paying for name brand at that point, plus they are JDM.....yo)

The problem with cheap lug nuts is the threads don't last long before they start to strip if you take your wheels off frequently.
