Another thing to consider when using alloy lug nuts is to put a smear of anti seize paste on the threads before torquing them up. As the name suggests this will prevent them from seizing up in the future. Also follow the correct sequence for tightening the lugs.
excellent write up deano..................
i had that issue when i got my dc2r which had buddy club lugs on the stock wheels and never sat right, so i asked my mate at honda and he double checked it for me............hence, i went ahead and bought stock type R wheel nuts from honda...................same as deannos pic in first page.............
its a mata of safety for your own good guys..............
i am know running rota slipstreams with rays extended nuts and are fitting and working fine, like deanno and others have mentioned, either take the wheels with you when buying nuts, or take the nuts with you when buy wheels...........
also ... be very carefully when attaching alloy nuts. Make sure the thred on your studs are free of all debris and they go on perfectly square. The threds are very easy to cross thred and strip.... which in turn may cause them to fail....
Last thing you want is going around a corner and you wheel flying off..
Also when tightning make sure they are done firm.. but not overtightned. What i found if you tightned too much they will just strip apart :S
ill get some pics of with what has happened to a few of mine
