and its ebay . . the actual site i bought it from did not have any warnings or anything . . i clicked on mitsubishi lancer and it led me right to these . . no store would assume you have aftermarket rims on your lancer and give you lugs to look at. . lugs are lugs

oh yeah and another point it says "fits aftermarket rims and most stock rims IF they have the 60 degrees tapered seat" which obviously i do since they are on my rims? if i had a narrower seat they wouldn't go on
You are wrong here. You absolutely should not be using a tapered seat lug nut with the OEM wheels. They aren't designed to be compatible. The OEM wheel is centered on the hub via the wheel c-bore and the wheels are held tight via the larger washer surface on the OEM lug nuts. A tapered seat lugnut will have less thread engagement and has nowhere near the bearing surface of the OEM lugnut.
Fact of the matter is they aren't designed to be compatible and I feel compelled to inform people otherwise. The potential damage from a lug/wheel failure is huge!

After reading this i took off one of my lugs and threaded the stock one on and counted the rotations it took to get it tight. . then did the same thing with the aftermarket and they were almost identical.
As long as they are torqued to spec, as mine are, im sure there will be nothing wrong, theres no shake or shimmy at all of the rim. if i went aftermarket wheels i would probably do different lugs though, thanks for the concern though man

I want graphite gray!! 
All looks fantastic.
Maybe some paintworks on winter to own Ralli red
Some sort of yellow will be good too,but it´s so accurate how deep/bright and how much metallic/pearl.You can mess that up,and could look horrible....
