hmmmm maybe i should be getting some aftermarket locks too

 

I just fill my lug nuts with JB Weld before putting them on. Takes a couple tubes but my rims aren't going anywhere.

 

how do u get rims off for rotating or if u get a flat?

 

Fortunately, fingers crossed, I haven't had to worry about that yet.

 

lol good luck! btw where in CT are you?

 

I was thinking about either that or some thread lock. But with some strength I believe they should all come loose... I don't know for sure though.

 

Haha, I hope everyone realizes I'm just kidding. That would be insanely stupid.

I'm in the northeast corner in Woodstock. That's probably like, I don't know, 1:15 from Simsbury? 50 miles.

 

im sure you can get it loose... but how much torque do u have to use? and can the wrenches shops use do it?

 

ah very cool, what dealer did you go to get the Fit?

 

I went to my closest dealer, Lundgren Honda in Auburn, MA. They don't budge much on price but they're decent people and they have a pretty good free service plan.

 

nice, did they have a mark up on the MSRP, i knw a few months back the only dealer around selling at MSRP was torrington

 

Gotcha now.... ahahaha...





I'm going to definitely try the spinning outer ring McGard wheel locks.

Anyone know what the thread size is on the 2009 Sport wheels?

 

Nope, their set price was $16,860 plus $670 for destination and handling. That comes out to $17,530 or about $250 less than what the Honda site is suggesting for MSRP I think. I was ok with that and I didn't feel like driving to Manchester or Lincoln, RI to haggle for a couple extra bucks.

 

good price, about what i paid for mine OTD last year, glad to see some other honest dealers!

 

Can anyone tell me if these aftermarkets will match the '09 Sport OEM 16" wheels? So it should be acorn/conical and not ball seat?

 

If the wheels are Honda OEM, they should be paired with ball-headed lugnuts.

 

same with the honda alarm

 

I say you should get some. Especially since the Fit is interchangable with the older Civics & Integras. If you get OEM make sure they are for the Fit. The standard ones are longer and will stick out too far. I would go with after market if you do.

 

Thanks... this is the first direct answer I've got with about 3 tries so far. LOL...

 

My wheels & tires were indeed stolen, despite the factory wheel locks. However, I did get another set put on when they were replaced. Was I a sucker? Dunno. I can't really say I bought any peace of mind with the new locks . . . .
