    Correct washer style "mag" lug nut seat:




    The black cute nuts in the pic were on a car with stock wheels. You can see the small shiney ring at the very outer part of the 45 degree seat where the cute lug nut was barely holding onto the wheel's squared off hole:



    You can see how little was hanging on. The stock nuts go into the hole in the wheel. The fat washer is holding the wheel on, the shank is centering things.
