Wheel locks Question

Which wheel locks would you recommend for my 2010 Sport? I really hate the way these ones (McGards) hang out beyond the other lugs.
And yes I know that wheel locks are only a deterrent.

Thanks!

Dan

With factory wheels you don't have a lot of options because of the seat of the nut (ball type). If you had aftermarket wheels, which use cone seats, then you'd have a LOT more options. DO NOT MIX THEM. Putting a cone type on factory wheels will not allow it to seat properly. That can damage the seat over time, or worse, cause it to fail. Same with putting ball type nuts on cone type wheels.

You could try Gorilla Locks 38431N.

Mine are OEM and does not protrude like this.

Another option is S2000 OEM wheel locks, which are shorter then the regular ones (I know cause I used regular one on my S, and was very disappointed by the look!)

The OEM wheel locks on our 2013 Sport don't protrude either and they're made by McGard. phinegan, were yours sourced from Honda?

Wheel locks always sound to me like about as good an idea as the "anti-theft" feature of the radio.

No offense, save your money. Nobody is going to steal OEM wheels from a 2010 Fit that have curb rash. Even if they didn't have curb rash nobody would steel them anyways? Thieves want quick sell, high dollar items. Aftermarket wheels, SRT Challenger/Charger, Mustang GT, ZL1 Camaro or anything that someone would upgrade from their base model.
