If you absolutely must run aftermarket flashy nuts on your standard wheels, you can take the wheels to a machineing shop and they can machine the lug holes to accept tapered nuts.
This really, really needs to be stickied. I bought a set of Rays nuts for (oh the irony) my ITR AKA Dean's old car. Unbolted the existing nuts, went to open the package and noticed the difference. Did some quick research and sent a message off to the supplier. Then did some more searching and found this thread.
Edit: Found this link - wonder if it's worth testing?
^used them before, they don't really work well as i've found they deform under pressure
i was unable to torque them up to 80ft-lbs before deforming
there was a type of lug lock nut that i found should work, project kics i think as their seat moves independently to the nut so it should push on to the washer instead of forcing it's way though it
don't take my word for it though, i never could justify splashing out on kics
I don't think you can put factory nuts on Rays wheels, coz the Rays wheels and most aftermarket wheels needs the tapered/conical type nuts which are 60 degree conical seat. All honda nuts are acorn/ball/radius type (See pic diagram) therefore it won't fit.
I hope this help
Ive used Mcguard conical seat nuts with rays wheels, rays conical nuts with Work wheels, usually aftermarket nuts will work with aftermarket wheels
from what ive experienced you cant use aftermarket nuts with OEM wheels unless the aftermarket nuts also come in a flat/ Round seat type
When i was returning my evo back to stock the OEM wheels needed a flat type lug nut, i remember wanting to purchase a set of ralliart/Mcguard lug nuts and being asked by parts guy if i wanted cone seat or flat seat
