I think I asked this a long time ago but wanted to verify. Someone mentioned that it would be "NOT" a good idea to try and replace the stock lug nuts with a different brand assuming I am using the stock wheels ?

I was looking at getting red ones but I think someone mentioned that aftermarket lug nuts on the stock wheels would not fit properly ?

Is that true or am I completely wrong ?

Thanks,

 

Correct - Most oem wheels have a ball seat and most aftermarket wheels/lugs use a tapered seat.

 

What kind of lugs were you considering?
You pretty much don't want to put tapered lugs on OEM wheels.

 

I just wanted red lugs, anyones that fit. Looks like im going to just keep the current lugs and not risk anything.

 

I'm sure there has gotta be a set of red anodized non-tapered lugs out there.
Check jhpusa or inlinefour. maybe even ebay.

 

Why not just have the OEMs painted/powdercoated/anodized...?

 

I have a set I could try powdercoating red but the abuse from a socket will eventually break it down.

 

Here is a solution for you:

you should be able to buy an extraset from honda and have then anodized red. I have had that done to to metal parts in dallas not for my S but for stuff around the house.

 

Are those the same exact fitment as the stock ones ? I know the text says replace the originals but I want to make sure I am taking no risk at all.

If anything Maybe I should powercoat and see how it turns out.
