Like you found out, oem lugs rarely even fit. More importantly, if they do, they don't seat right. Any tuner lug should fit, they are pretty much standard. Just don't buy cheap aluminum lugs. If you want to go aluminum, shell out the cash. Or just get regular ones for cheap (which seem to last longer anyway).

Do not use tuner lugs on oem wheels. It's actually probably dangerous. It can actually start gouging the alumminum. I don't know about steal wheels but i've seen this happen with aluminum wheels. It's for the same reason, the seat of the lug is different from the wheels. The difference is that in this case it's smaller. My friend had some one his oem wheels and you could see where from it in the lug holes.
