Default Wheel nuts

Before I put them on and potentially kill myself: Can someone confirm the OEM 16" wheel nuts are the same as the OEM 17" wheel nuts?

Think they should work. They will all be "acorn" type .. the mounting face into the alloy isn't flat like aftermarket wheels/nuts, but slightly bowled.

Light weight ones mugen rays etc

the oem locking wheel nuts have 4 tiny little nipples that help undo the nut which break quite easily then you have to have a mechanic with hammers and chisels near you wheels just to get them off
