lug nuts

hey all, i just noticed today on my tsx that out of the five lug nuts, one of them are different. i was just wondering if anyone else out there noticed this, or even has this problem. i'm not sure if they are supposed to be like that, or something is wrong with mine. i just got mine three days ago, so i'm still finding little things that i never noticed before, and this is one of them.

I assume you are talking about the wheel lock? its to keep theives from stealing your wheels easily.

This story... and the one about the brown stuff (aka rust) on the rotors thread are taking the cake.

interesting.

well as xizor said they are wheel locks, which means that their has to be a wheel "key" (just like any other lock needs a key).

the wheel key will fit over the wheel lock, which will allow you to remove the wheel.

while as the other conventional lug nuts can be removed by a regular wrench. note that you probably paid a little more to have the wheel locks as an option

i've been away from the board for a little bit.....and i come back to this thread and the one about the brown stuff on the rotors?

So you know what the wheel locks are, but you don't know what they look like? and you don't want free stuff from the dealer because?

well... it's not a wrench... it's a key that works with a wrench.

Would still kinda suck to be without it at 3 am on a back country road though, which was my point.....

Or in certain areas of downtown.....
