Its to hold on stock hub caps if you have them. Only required for this purpose.

Exactly what ^ said, in fact you should just buy new lugs if you got rims.

You need new wheels. OEM honda nuts are ball seat, and 99.9% of aftermarket wheels are cone seat. Never use a ball seat nut in a cone seat wheel, unless you like to have your wheels fly off on you after a month of wear.
