also your factory lug nuts have tapered tip because you are using standard lug-centric lugs readily available in the OEM market which have dual function. some cars (toyota for instance and other nissans probably) use hubcentric wheels and regular steelie donuts. donut wheels are like a hybrid of both hubcentric and lug-centric design. they have universal lug bores so that they are compatible with both tapered and acorn nuts. (honda for example use acorn nuts on some of their cars). their center bore matches the hub diameter intended for the car to give it that hub-centric stability. basically steelies need to be cheap and universal. so in summary, your stock universal hub-centric lugs have dual function yet you are only using one of the 2 functions.
