For which wheels?

Assuming OEM or A-Spec type wheels, you may know this, and if you do, I apologize, but the story below may be helpful

Getting wheel locks tripped up the eBay Acura dealer I used (Troy), and I had to send them a copy of the Acura Service News that detailed the differences. They were a little snooty at first, and then read the Service News I sent them, access courtesy of this great AZ forum, and quickly apologized, and sent me a replacement and paid for return shipping. But I digress as usual....

There are two styles of lug nuts for the 14 mm x1.5 lugs.

Acura RL Non PAX Wheel Lock P/N 08W42-SJA-200

Acura RL PAX Wheel Lock P/N 08W42-SJA-200A

The most common, non PAX wheel uses the style that looks like this convenient photo:

and the seat type is the so called Mag Seat, vs the Ball type that is used by the PAX wheels. See the Step #3 diagram at:

http://www.brandsport.com/howdoifirilu.html

Now that you know what to look for, let us know what you find in the good looking lug nut area for the database.

My wheels are aftermarket, but still use the Honda Mag Seat. You will have to talk to your wheel supplier if you cannot immediately recognize the type of seat your aftermarket wheel uses.

If you have stock wheels, you'll want the 14 X 1.50 Honda/rounded lugs.
If you're aftermarket, more than likely you'll need conicals of the same size.

EDIT: Chas, you were typing at the same time I was.

I called their business and they've been waiting for them since last year. It's hard to get in this size.

Thanks for the link though.

Yeah, Im looking for something nice like volks or in the same league. If you find some thing please post them up. I got the ones that where from visionary and didnt like them. They were too soft and broke/bent on me after repeated use on/off.

I hate these regular lug nuts. It's next to impossible to get the high quality lug nuts in our size.
