Default will ray's lugs work with my factory AP2's?

I just painted my stock AP2's and purchased some Ray's lugs. I've been told that the aftermarket lugs will not work with the stock wheels. I don't want to paint the stock lugs, once under torque they tend to chip no matter how well you paint them. Does anybody manufacture a stock black lug? I'd love to use Ray's, they don't weight S^%t and they look cool.

no, you cant use aftermarket lug nuts with the oem wheel.
Lug nuts for the CR are black.

edit: something might help. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=826639

You can use those lugs, but its not safe because they do not have the ball seats on them. They wont seat correctly on your wheels and its very possible they could come unscrewed while driving. For your own safety, dont do it. This has been discussed many many times, so a quick search and you could have found this out. Just buy some CR or NSX lug nuts, they are black and have the correct seats.

Try these lugs: http://www.jlbmotorsports.com/store/produc...products_id=617

I just bought a black set and they are great. They are also substantially cheaper than the OEM CR lugs as well.
