Will someone please confirm that these wheel locks work with the 2012 FWD Tech Acura TL? The part Number is 08W42-SJA-201A. My local Acura dealer does not find the part number in their online catalog. Thanks for your help.

Only goes up to 2011. But if it works for 2011, it works for 2012 (in this case - wheels haven't changed specs).

mhbill

Thanks for the quick reply Bearcat94. The reason I posted the question is that my local Acura dealer could not find a part number in their online catalog.....still waiting for a response from them.

I saw the same ones on Ebay for $37.

Treblig

Just confirming what you already know, that is the correct part number. Looking at my wheel lock package as I type this reply.

mhbill

Treblig, thanks for the confirmation....Sgt128, purchased the locks from ebay for $35....even tho the guy said they didn't fit the 2012!

mhbill

I installed the wheel locks mentioned in my original post (08W42-SJA-201A) on my 2012 TL. The locks stand proud of the rim by more than 0.25". Is this normal for Acura wheel locks in previous years?

MrFungo

When we first got a catalog update there was another part # for the wheel locks. But it was changed back to the SJA-201A# and yes they do stick out too much

krislv

The dealer installed them on my 12 and they do stick out way too much. I'll more than likey be putting swapping them out as they look bad IMO.

mhbill

Thanks for your comments...and, I agree....they look bad. I removed the locks and installed the original lug nuts. We'll have to wait-and-see if Acura feels the same way.

I have a set of 12x1.50 gorilla wheel locks that I had on my 2010 Civic Si.. will these fit a 2012 SH?

Treblig

I think the lugs for the 2012 are 14x1.5.

Alan\

Ball seat or acorn?

Alan\

edit: ugh how come no one makes a 14x 1.50 ball seat wheel lock

jnc2000

All 4G lugs are 14x1.5

Alan\

does anyone know if the OEM wheel locks are acorn/cone or ball seat like the older honda locks?

Treblig

I believe they are cone seat.

Mr Marco

The locks are cheaper through McGard. I never got around to ordering a set, but when I replaced the key on the RDX the CSR told me that they have a Do Not Sell clause in their agreement with Acura. However, you could just go on-line or call 800-444-5847 (US and Canada) and order the part "ala carte"
M14 x 1.5 (13/16") 1.965" Part# 24211

MrFungo

what you want is PRT# 08W42-TK4-200

mhbill

Thanks Mr. Fungo. I received a call from my local Acura dealer last Friday informing that the wheel locks for my '12 TL are in stock. The part number you listed sounds like the part number he quoted over the phone....we'll see.

Sgt128

Anyone figure out what wheel locks we need for the 2012 TL?

Will 12mm x 1.50 Thread Pitch fit? I found these and they look cool.

Can someone tell me if they fit the 2012 TL.

Mr.Skytech

By the way the seat is "Ball". They are not cones but Ball. I know because i took one out and looked.

The correct size and fit the FWD TL 2009-2012 is 14mm x 1.5 ball seat. i hear that the ones for the SH-AWD are different.

Mr Marco

"Radius" seat.

macguitar

If anyone knows the Acura part number for an SH-AWD so the wheel locks don't stick out (but rather have the same length as the regular lug nuts) that would be much appreciated. Looks like the 08W42-SJA-201A stick out quite a bit.

Gonzilla

Go aftermarket, acura wheel locks stick out wayy to much! Any wheel shop should be able to help

Edward'TLS

Don't waste your time looking for aftermarket wheel locks for your 4G TL's.

Only McGard makes them, but are available only exclusively to Honda/Acura dealerships and no where else.

And they DO stick out when compared to all other lug nuts.

But we have no choice; either install the stick-out wheel locks or don't install locks at all.

Sgt128

I went ahead and bought the oem ones. Yes they do stick out a little far but I don't even notice it now that they have been on there for a while.

macguitar

Not sure what the exact differences are, but my dealer installed part number 08W42-TK4-200 on my 2012 SH-AWD Advance.

They don't seem to stick out, so it looks like this is the part number everyone's been looking for!

EDIT: Confirmed by my dealer: 08W42-TK4-200 is shorter (30mm), 08W42-SJA-201A is 35mm.

ATL126AM

i was looking to order the following, would anyone recommed using this?

Jimmmer

Macguitar, did you try these? Do they fit and match the length of the others?

andvari

The advantage of the OEM locks is that if you lose your key you can get the wheel unlocked at a dealer.

Edward'TLS

^^^^^ In fact, if you ever lose the key to your wheel locks, simply go to some big tire stores. They have special tools to remove wheel locks even without keys.

And this is also how thieves can make away with your expensive rims, even if you put 5 different wheel locks on each of them.

thePearl

everywhere i am looking ... i get that the size is 12mm x 1.5 for my '12 sh-awd... however, you guys are saying its 14mm x 1.5???

thePearl

anyone?

Treblig

I believe 14x1.5 is the size that I've used.

purextc

^^yup

fryrice

sorry to bring back an old thread...i getting a cert used 12 TL awd and don't have wheel locks.

my civic si that i am trading in has them i was planning on keeping the locks and move it over to the TL, however it sounds like it won't even fit.

civic si = 12mm 1.5
TL awd = 14mm 1.5

is that correct?
