Angry Question About Aftermarket Lug Nuts on Stock 19s

So after having someone at my work loosen up my lug nuts on my rims, I'm looking for better lug nuts that not tamperable that easily. I'm trying to use the "Search" but I keep finding aftermarket set ups.

Will Rays Engineering Lug Nuts (Extended) fit stock 19s?
If they do, would red look good on them? or just stay silver? I've been looking at these for a while today ever since I got home.

Any suggestions guys?! That would be great with some input! Also, if anyone are using aftermarket lug nuts on their stock rims, post pics! Preferably the stock 19s!

I'm not too sure about the stock 19's but most OEM wheel, including the OEM 18's that I got don't work with aftermarket lug nuts. The seat is different. The OEM lug nuts have a flat washer and aftermarket lug nuts don't.

I don't think there is any other tunner type lug nut for the OE style.
The only thing I can think of is additional locks

Coming from a wheel and tire guy, the lugs will fit any wheel as long as the lugs are made to fit the wheel. With that said since our 19 inch wheels have a cone lug nuts seats than you have to get cone seat lug nuts same thing goes for ball seats and shanks..

So as longs as the lugs are cone seat AND the wheel lock and regular socket fit than yes the lug will work.

These should work just make sure to torque them afterwards.

My friend has the same lug but in red on some 350z wheels and they are good.

Is Rays Engineering the same Rays that makes our Stock 19's?

Also, READ THE WARNING:

WE NO LONGER ACCEPT RETURNS ON LUG NUTS FROM CUSTOMERS WHO ATTEMPT TO USE THEM ON FACTORY WHEELS. THESE LUGS ALSO DO NOT FIT ON SPECIAL WHEELS THAT REQUIRE INVERTED LUGS. WE WILL ALSO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS FROM CUSTOMERS THAT TRY TO USE THEM FOR THESE TYPES OF WHEELS.

all oem nissan wheels use a tapered bottom, you can use any aftermarket lug with a tapered bottom on them. That warning is mostly in regards to hondas which is a rounded seat on their OEM wheels
