sounds like you need tuner style wheel nuts - there will be loads to choose from on ebay but ive heard there are a lot of fake sets so youd best check with others once youve had a look.
1996-2000 1993 EG9 Blue Civic 1.6 Vti - Traded in against the BB4
2000-2019 1994 2WS BB4 Milano Red JDM Prelude Si VTEC LSD

2015 on > 1991 4WS BB1 Phantom Pearl Grey JDM Prelude Si VTEC LSD
2021 ON > 1998 2WS BB6 White Pearl JDM Prelude Si VTEC

I looked around and got these direct from Tegiwa:

Loads of fakes around on ebay and had peace of mind for a little extra cash, locking too ;)

Not only that, they have survived a full winter driving daily in Scotland unmarked, unlike some that others have experienced :twisted:

Here's a pic of them fitted, they stick out nicely 8-)

Problem is with the speedlines is that the hub cover hits the wheel nuts, so I reckon i need shallow slimline nuts, but not sure :?
