technically you should only run acorn seat lugs. i've seen plenty of people run the conicals on OEM wheels though..

Our OEM honda wheels use the ball seat on the left, aftermarket wheels usually use the acorn style on the right. It's very dangerous to use the wrong style because they can come loose.

What kind of wheels do you have?
