Aftermarket lugs with my stock 16s?

Can I use my Gorilla lugnuts with the stock 16 inch wheels? I need to put my snow wheel/tire setup on but don't have any stock lugnuts.

Thanks in advance.

Aftermarket lugs are conical whereas OEM are ball-seated. I wouldn't recommend using conical lugs on factory wheels because it's not as secure.

The short answer is you can....

The proper answer is you shouldn't

you can get the ball-seated washers that acts as an "adapter" from conical to ball-seat

I ordered some volk le37s that will soon be installed on my car... I just want some cheap, but nice, black lug nuts. Will acorn style lug nuts like these fit nice securely for my le37s?
