Default Tuner Lugs

Im about to re-finish my wheels again in a different color. So in the down time I found some steelies for cheap to roll on. Will tuner lugs work with stock wheels? I don't think they would, but not positive. If not, I need to find some lug nuts I guess.

Nope.

Stock wheels use a ball seat lug, tuner lugs and most aftermarket wheels are tapered seat. Using tapered lugs on ball seat wheels ruins the seat on the wheels, possibly causing the wheels to not be perfectly centered on the hub.

Figured so, I remember reading something like that a long time ago. Gay, now I need to find some lugs to use for a few weeks.

I plan on getting some cheapo's. I read that using tuner lugs on regular wheels will slowly grind away at the wheel.
