I just bought some RPF1s for my car and I was wondering if the stock lug nuts would fit. I am almost sure they won’t, but I wanted to be sure before having to buy new ones.

You'll need aftermarket lug nuts. Honda stock lug nuts have a ball seat while most aftermarket wheels use a tapered cone seat. You'll probably damage your wheels if you use the stock lug nuts.

@AlexWarFire that's a sweet looking wheel. :thumbsup: I know it's going to dress up your ride nicely.
Hopefully they should be mounted on my car by the end of the week 🤞. Here is a sneak peak of the wheel mounted and the tires I bought 🤭. Oh, and I know I need a wash, I'm just waiting for this weekend to do it 😄.

What's the specs for these?
Because of potholes, I mean loads of potholes where I live, I opted for 16 inch wheels to hopefully not have to replace them every week :/ They're also 7 inch wide, same as stock, because I don't need wider at the moment.

EDIT: Just to give you an idea, my father managed to bend a stock steel wheel by hitting a pothole, losing a hub cap in the process. When he went back to pick it up, there was at least 20 other hub caps in the ditch beside the pothole.

@AlexWarFire yes I would agree, a wash is in order. Lol.
Well, I washed it and installed the wheels, and it got dirty again within minutes 🤦‍♂️.
The thing that suprised me the most it that I saved 9lb per corner! Now it feels faster in the corners and a bit faster during acceleration. I’m so happy I bought RPF1’s and no wonder everyone has them!
