help ASAP
Ok i bought some 04si alloys and im using my tuner lugs from my old rims to put them on, Is this ok? the lugs seem to stick out pretty far? I dont wanna use my oem lugs cause i dont want these wheels ripped off? I just wanna know if its ok and why they stick out further than the actual wheel???

well, I have never seen the Si alloys up close but you should judge for yourself. If the place where the lug nut sits is rounded, use the tuner ones, otherwise, OE.

yeah, they're gonna fit, but they're not going to fit the wheel seat, which you can't see with the nut on. You're putting a cone in a spherical seat. so not much is actually contacting the wheel. Use OE lugnuts with OE wheels. Honda sells OE lock sets. Mcgard also makes ball seat locks.

thanks guys, ya I ended up putting the OEM lugnuts on cause I didn't wanna take any chances, with my luck my wheels will get stolen before I get the new lock nuts.
i put my tuner lugs on my stock wheels a while back cuz i lost my oem lugs and boy was i sorry, i drove down the street and it sounded like my wheels were gonna fall off, i ended up stripping one of the bolts and having to get it replaced, just dont do it, find your stock lugs
