OEM fit lug nuts 2012 TL 18" wheels

I have searched the tire section, and done a search but I cannot find a source of lug nuts that fit OEM wheels. I have google searched 14 x 1.5 ball seat or radius seat lug nuts and find very little. I am trying to find a better locking lug than the huge McGard that came with the car and/or a whole set of better looking lug nuts. Black perhaps.

The only thing I have found are NSX lug nuts and possibly Porsche lug nuts but both are extremely expensive. Any hints?

Thanks

Look into gorilla locks, I just picked up a set, it has a spinny sleeve around the actual lock. I just put them on my wheels.

Looked into Gorilla locks. They only have the 60 degree tapered seat, not the ball seat required for the OEM wheels.

Very few places, if any, make the ball-seat type lug nuts for OEM Honda/Acura applications.

Aftermarket wheels all have tapered-seat holes, that's why tapered-seat lug nuts are more commonly available.

Sorry, that's what happens when you "skim" a post and not "read" it. I have the same problem and all the appropiately sized lugs are for aftermarket wheels.

Do we need a 14 mm or 12 mm and or is SH-AWD different than FWD?

If you're looking for lugs for OEM wheels why not use OEM lugs?

I found some aftermarket ones no brand http://www.tulipcitywheels.com/tcwst..._detail&p=1365

There is no difference in lug sizes between the 2. It is 14 mm on every single 4G TL

It looks like Gorilla does have a ball type 14-1.5 that fits as has been stated above. It looks like it has an overall length of 1.38" versus 1.64" With a more favorable profile is should look better than the McGard.

There are two heights of OEM/McGard locking lugs available. The short one is part number:

08W42-TK4-200

These are Acura only. McGard will not sell these to the public.
