Look at the seat of the OEM nut. Look at the seat of the Ray nut. Are they the same shape? There you go.

The OEM lug nut has a washer and a flat seat. The seat holds the wheel to the hub.

Rays (like other tuner nuts) uses a acorn seat. The seat holds the wheel to the hub.

Fits all Aftermarket Wheel uses ACORN Style lug nut.

Be careful.

The paint on the acorn shape will get all chewed up and worn off if you use them on OEM wheels.

My stock lugs do not look like the ones you pictured david. Maybe you could be more specific on what year those are?

My stock lugs look more like this, but not as dirty

For reference I have a 2006.
