Default rays lug nuts

I bought a set of OEM nismo 370z wheels that I plan to put on my 350z within the next week or so. I also bought a set of RAYS lug nuts, these one here http://conceptzperformance.com/Cart/...024.251.250.50 I know this has been discussed because I spent a little time reading through a few different threads but seems like a lot of it contradicts one another. For example on this forum I found

"Tell your friend if he is driving with OEM wheels and he drives it real hard, the tapered lugs will break through the rim since there are two layers and those just sit on the inner layer. I speak through experience. Ran an OEM wheel with Project Kics. First initiation and BAM! The lugs stayed on the car while the wheel fell off and ruined my fender. Not a happy day."

but I also found on g35drivers.com

"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"

the above quote was replying to this warning "LUG NUTS ARE MADE WITH TAPERED BOTTOMS SPECIFICALLY FOR AFTERMARKET WHEELS. DO NOT USE THESE TUNER LUGS FOR YOUR FACTORY WHEELS. 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."

and there's several more that contradict each other but I won't quote everything on here to keep this from being to long. Was just wondering if anyone could back up any of these statements, thanks.
