You could flip them around, the acorn no longer works. Go to a cycle shop, they should carry the ones you need.

Stock lug nuts -flat side in with hardened washers works great and protects the holes from "shrinking"

DON'T use the stock lug nuts the way you normallly would though. it will chew the rim up badly

who did you buy them from? they should have told you what to do when you bought them.

Why dont you just flip the stock ones around and use a washer? Thats what I did, works just fine.

The Blaster ones are the 15mm's with the "washer flange" built in, right? If so there nice, quick to use and clean looking.

I've used C-dale nuts, but they are slightly larger than Honda, enough that they always get stuck in the socket, Honda's fall right out. I now run stock Honda's on backwards with no washers and they do not tear up the wheels.
1 thing you need todo to a Hiper, is if you have to beat the wheel of the spindle, then find a drill bit the same size as the hole, and redrill the holes 1 size bigger. Some you don't have to, but most the ones I use I have had to redrill a tad bit larger. Makes changes alot easier.

Just enough that the wheel slides on the studs easily withou having to beat them on and off.
