OEM 3G Lug Nuts Specs
I've searched and come up with multiple threads and lots of contradictory info. Can someone point me to or tell me what the correct specs for the OEM lug nuts are as well as orientation - ball seat or acorn?

TIA

i thought ball and acorn were synonymous? isn't it ball/acorn for OEM, and tapered/straight for aftermarket?

Another name for ball seat is radius seat. It seems that Honda products are the only ones to use ball seat lugs (that I know of.)

I like to stay close to OEM or just gentle mods.
Bought a second set for my daughters Accord. Not sure what happened but the lug nuts and a couple of places on both of the front rims are rusting like crazy. We bought it used so don't have a clue.
