Are you getting the McGard locks with the spinning outer ring?


I just got the OEM ones, and will most definitely look in to putting another set (either OEM or after market).. I want to get the McGard locks, but according to this thread ---> https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...cks-today.html "It supposedly unsafe to run aftermarket lugs with OEM wheels"... So now I'm not sure.

I might get another set of the OEM's...

OEM Honda rims have a ball seat. Most aftermarket rims have a tapered seat.

just a note... aftermarket wheels typically have a tapered lug bore, not a ball type.

Gorilla Automotive (Gorilla Automotive Products - Lug Nuts, Wheel Locks, Auto Security, Wheel Accessories) makes them:
4x 12x1.5 ball seat locks = part # 38431N
16x 12x1.5 ball seat locks = part # 38432N
20x 12x1.5 ball seat locks = part # 38433N

edit:
They also have standard (non-locking) lug nuts:
1x 12x1.5 ball seat open ended nut = part # 38038
1x 12x1.5 ball seat cap nut = part # 38138
