Cool Please suggest me wheel locks/lug nuts

Hi guys!

Now that I bought the A-Spec Hyper silver (ebony) 18" rims with HANKOOK V12 EVO K110 tires (235/40/18), I need to choose the wheel locks/lug nuts.

Can you recommend some brands along with some places (websites?) to buy them?

I've heard that it needs to be 12x1.50 & ball seat?

I have an NBP Acura TL 06 5AT base.

Thanks!
R1ck

i have the splined tuner lugs as i have after market wheels. since you have OEM wheels...you need the ones that will fit the holes in your rims.

http://www.mcgard.com/Applications/A...59oK1ZwQ%3d%3d

here is the application guide, plug in car, and you have big list of options.

i believe the regular cone lugs/locks will fit your application (if you want reassurances, maybe someone will chime in here to confirm, or contact mcgard directly). OEM rim holes are usually fatter than tuner lugs. hope this helps.

once you have the product number and specs, then do search, find good price, then purchase. i think i got mine through amazon...can't remember off hand.

yea it's the ball seat type lugs for OEM. i just had a brain fart as to the other type.

you could try muteki or gorilla lugs. it looks like mcgard only carries cone seat for our car. otherwise you may be stuck getting OEM wheel locks.

i think you're stuck with OEM locking lugs.

seems that all aftermarket lugs are geared towards aftermarket rim set ups.
