Default stock lug nuts on aftermarket wheels?

i just bolted up my pro comp steel wheels and when i was tightening the lug nuts it sorta felt weird. so im wondering are the stock lug nuts the same taper? i was also thinking it could be the powdercoat on the rims. also what psi do you guys run on 32's for the street?

You'd do well to avoid the stock lugnuts. It could be that the garbage metal they used is twisting or the cheap cap is begining to spin on the nut. Get some fully steel lug nuts and you'll thank me later.

Ordered these a few weeks ago and they fit perfectly. Real nice and pretty damn cheap. If you don't like them, at least visit the page - all the specs are listed.
