Lugs and Wheel locks
Lugs and Wheel locks
Still new to this forum, is there anyone here that can recommend the best set of lug nuts and wheel locks for the 2011 Honda Fit Sport? I have no clue what sizes are compatible with the Fit or brands to look into. Much appreciated and thanks in advance!
All Honda and many other makes use 12 x 1.50 metric lug nuts. Most are shown in the link below. I have no idea about the quality of Gorilla products.

Your local auto parts stores should have lug nuts and probably locks.

^ +1 Original Gorilla Locks, This is what have on my car. All 16 lugs are locking and they give you 2 sockets.

I'm not disputing anyone's recommendations. Over the years, I've gotten new lug nuts for various vehicles I've had (moved to a bare flat black steel wheel with chrome lug nuts), and the chrome plating on some of the aftermarket units is junk. Some plating cracks on their first use and it starts to rust.
I just had better luck with the Honda Alloy Wheel Locks. Do a search to find anyone selling them at discount. Looks like ~$35 but need to add S/H otherwise the dealer has them for $55.

A couple of other things to be aware of, in addition to the 12mm x 1.50 thread; for stock Sport wheels, the base of the lug nuts should have a ball/radius seat, not the acorn/tapered seat. Also the lug nuts come in different overall lengths. For example, 1.4" long will protrude too far on the earlier, (before 2012) Sport wheels. I know this because I have both sets of wheels and you can't interchange the lugs.
Left hand image: 1" long from 2007-2011. Right hand image: 1.4" Long from 2012+. Notice the ball/radius at the base.
