The reason is because the taper for the seat is different.

I've seen it at the track and it's not cool. I watched a wheel come off a car that was coming out of a fast turn... The wheel rolled/bounced off the track and over a fence onto a busy public road.
TireRack has this nice image on their site that shows the differences:

I'm really glad you posted this because I was just going to spend the $ to get some aftermarket lugs. Thought to myself, you know, I better check the forum just incase there is something with the Rays; never ownerd a set. I'm so glad I did. Would have been pissed to find out the new lugs don't fit after damaging my wheels. Thanks again!
