Aftermarket Lugs on Stocks

So my friend got me these lug nuts..
I still have stock wheels and I'm wondering if I change them to these, will it be a bad idea?

Mmm true.. heard they strip after time

But are the lug nuts head different from the stock ones? people tell me that aftermarket lugnuts wont sit right on stock wheels, and if I keep driving it for a while they're going to fall off later in time.

Is that true?

Sorry im still a nooby at this.. ;__;

they usually are different, but our stock wheels/lugs use a tapered/conical seat so the stock lugs and aftermarket "tuner" lugs have the same 60deg taper.

I have aluminum lugs, just hand thread them, tighten and torque by hand also. No electronics or air tools, you will be fine.
