Red lug nuts for OEM wheels...
 
I was looking for a nice set of red lug nuts for aesthetics and a lock bolt. Are there any aftermarket red lugs that if the OEM wheel?

No, The OEM Honda wheels (all Hondas, as far as I know) are spherical, not conical. Most aftermarket wheels are conical, as are the "tapered" nuts.

Ahh, got it. Makes sense. Anyone know of any ball/radius aftermarket red lug nuts and lock?

Never really thought of that. If it can be done, it sounds like the easiest way to get it done. Anyone know of any aftermarket ref lugs that will fit the OEM wheel?

try turn a screw with a knife, it will probably work but it's more dangerous and potentially deadly than you think.

it might looks tight and fit but the contact area decrease quite alot, it's the only thing holding your wheel onto your car :(

Yes. Really bad. What makes it worse is that the lugnuts are aluminum. You're probably getting a 1mm seating area at best. You're going to damage your lugnuts and your wheel. Your wheel will then damage your fender and someone else's car as it comes off. Careening into a ditch afterwards will probably ruin a few other things.
