Gorilla Lug Nut will it fit?

Hey everyone, quick question. I was looking for a set of red lugs for my stock TL-S rims, but after a search I read that I need to get lugs that have a ball end. Will these fit?

Amazon Amazon

If not, can someone please point me in the right direction to some lugs(preferably red) you would recommend?

Thanks.

^^^ Exactly .. the ones you posted look like a conical seat and they are for use on the stock wheels which are spherical.

Using the wrong style of lug is not safe.

^^^ all this. especially the later.

oem honda wheels use ball seat, not acorn style seat.

I have to correct my original post .. it was early and I missed a word

Conical seat are used on aftermarket wheels.

Might want to check these out, they are washer adapters to use conical seat lug nuts on ball seat wheels. Don't know the specs but might want to check them out.

I've got the red lugs and love them. I don't have locks though. I need a set of red locks.

Has anyone actually used these? I want to buy some acorn or conical nuts but i'm on OEM wheels atm...(with large spacers, so gorilla nuts won't work)
