Hi all, did a quick search for "lug" for the entire 3G RDX forum and dont see anything related to this question so maybe someone can help.

I'm looking to order wheel locks and lugs for my '19 A-Spec to match the wheels and Orange County Acura service department told me the lugs are 12mm x 1.5, however he didn't really sound too sure of himself. Doing more research on the Gorilla site, it appears there are "Acorn Black Chrome" ( Gorilla Automotive Products ) locks which should match well, however when i clicked a couple more pages they also have Honda specific lugs ( Gorilla Automotive Products ).

Due to some work obligations I am away from my car for a few days however wanted to get these ordered so i can install as soon as I get home. Has anyone taken off, actually seen, or know exactly which lugs to order for the A-Spec wheels (I assume all models/trims are the same)?

I also tried to search for a picture or description of the OEM locks & black chrome lugs but was unable to find anything and am not willing to pay 4-500% over what I can get Gorillas for.

Huge thanks in advance to anyone who can give me some insight!

12x1.5 is correct. I am using the Project Kics R40 lug nuts that were on my 2011 Kia Sportage on my 2019 RDX on my summer rims and they fit fine. The majority of Asian imports use this size.

It is usually the shape of the seat that needs to be different if you are using the OEM rim versus an aftermarket rim (conical, spherical or flat).

Thanks @bluntman72

I opted for the Black OEM lug nuts and wheels locks...I got them online rather than at the stealership.

Sorry about replying as I know you posted this nearly two months ago.

Where did you end up ordering your black OEM lugs for? Trying to find the best price.

Thanks!

FYI, Acorn seat aftermarket lugs are meant for aftermarket wheels that have an acorn seat. OEM wheels have an OEM "ball seat". They "can" work but i'd say buyer beware... If you don't have aftermarket wheels, I'd steer clear of acorn seat lug nuts.

@Broin Late reply here too..I haven't purchased yet. have you?... i understand that obviously this is super important & not to cheap out on lugs but to me $170 seems like highway robbery for lugs...but hey, what do I know... I might pull a lug just to confirm shape, etc and order Gorillas... I'll update if i do...

You could always just spray paint them as a 'cheap' way rather than risk the Acorn versus Ball seat discrepancy.


Or there's Gorilla ballseat ones as well: https://smile.amazon.com/Gorilla-Aut...-no-redirect=1

Or just use the OEM chrome lug nuts "as is".

I just replaced my OEM silver lug nuts with black ones that LOCK, I contacted the manufacturer to make sure I got the right part # in advance.

I didn't like the look of silver lug nuts on my 2019 Aspec in Apex blue pearl.
