I've never liked those style of wheels/lugs, the're almost as bad as those lug studs you have to try to line up and hold the wheel at the same time, mostly German imports. Definitely don't want to use them on conical lug seat wheels, I tried one time in an emergency, made it 15 miles before the wheel past me up on the hwy.

that's exactly what I was Affraid was going to happen to this lady. You would know better than I but isn't it the conical section of the lug nut sitting in the conical section of the wheel that holds it tight or is it mainly to hold the wheel centered on the hub? Or both?

No problem re-fresh! I would have never given it any thought either but when I got my wheels at Discount Tire, they suggested it! Glad they did! Pass it on to all your buddies, whatever they drive!

If everyone want's to carry a supply of parts for someone else to use, more power to them. I won't and I made sure I bought quality AM wheels to avoid this type of issue.
My OEM lugs are probably just like yours, large shoulder that serves no purpose other than to keep someone from stealing the center cap. No use to me either.
