Depending on the rims he has, OEM lug nuts might not work.

Actually most aftermarket rims use conical style lugs. OEM lugs are ball shaped and will not work safely on aftermarket rims.

you can use the long lugs, but it will look stOOpid with your lugs sticking out from the wheel. Just get the short ones and torque them to 80 ft/lbs.

im using the zenki's and theyre fine. most aftermarket wheels need a lug with a tapered end. the stock honda one's are rounded.
