I think Positron is trying to say stock wheel locks are made for stock wheels with a shank style lug seat on the wheel. Your aftermarket wheels have a tapered seat. So the locking nuts are not meant for to be used on your aftermarket wheels. In fact it will probably damage it and not work properly.

Well that's the thing...the main difference is that the Spec-R are a progressive spring while the Sport Mach's are not. I daily drive my car on some of the worst roads in CA and I am perfectly fine on these. They are much smoother than any coilover setup you could run on the street IMO.

Both are progressive.
Sports and Spec Rs have the same lowering.

They aren't stock lugs or locks. They are aftermarket McGuard's. They have a tapered, conical seat just like the Black Muteki lugs I'm using. I've been using them since I got the wheels in April, probably about 10k miles. I haven't noticed any uneven wear, fitting, or anything out of the ordinary.
