Most aluminum wheels currently on the market DO use tapered seat (acorn style) lug nuts. Mag style lug nuts with the long shank are only necessary for a small number of wheels, mostly discontinued styles. Some, such as the Cragar S/S still use them, but the KMC Addict is designed for a tapered seat lug nut.
