McGard and Gorilla are very good brands. Acura's OEM locks are made by McGard.

I have Acura OEM wheel locks for sale. They are used slightly but fully functional. I had my aftermarket wheels and a diff wheel locks so I rarely used the OEM locks. Let me know if you're interested.

Please e-mail rather than PM back...

The most important difference between wheel locks for oem wheels and those for aftermarket wheels is the mating seat surface. The for-oem ones are dome-shaped like a sphere and the for-aftermarket ones are tapered for perfect fitment. Only dome-shaped nuts must be used on oem wheels. If the tapered locks are used on oem wheels, the lag nut holes will be ruined in no time.
