1. Tuner lugnuts have thin shanks so you can get a key over them or in them to get them on and off. The wheels are designed so the lugnuts fit tightly into the countersinks drilled for them, rather than providing a lot of room around them to get a regular nut and socket on to.
2. Stock lugnuts have a ball nose. Almost all aftermarket wheels have conical tapers... which means you need to use a cone-ended lugnut. Using a ball lugnut in a conical hole WILL ruin the wheel.
I think that should suffice as reason enough.
