Default quick lugnut question...
I just bought some rota slips for my 97 civic, and was wondering if I could reuse my stock lugnuts, or will I have to buy some aftermarkets to fit the wheel?

I highly suggest buying tapered aftermarket lugnuts. Stock wont seat right and may eventually come loose. You can find cheap ones for $30 or less.

Do those aftermarket lugs double as wheel locks? Muteki, Gorilla, etc.
