Anyone have locking lug nut recommendations?
they are hard to find 2023 TLX A-Spec.
Some are covered and nearly $400

 

what's wrong with OEM Acura ones?

 

I like these for wheel locks: Gorilla Automotive 38641N

Give these people a call. Wheel locks. Seem to be around $70. But call to confirm the P/N for the 2023.

 

You just need to make sure to purchase ball wheel locks that are compatible with the OEM rims. A lot of wheel locks and aftermarket security lugs are tapered/conical and are made for aftermarket rims. Acura/Honda uses ball (rounded) lugs for OEM rims and you can't mix ball and tapered lugs. I had OEM wheel locks and every place I needed tires service already had their own key (Acura, Honda, Firestone, Discount Tires, etc...). I switched to the Gorilla Automotive 38641N and they always ask for the key to take the rims off if I forget to give it to them.

 

Unavailable. Dang.

 

Where can you get them?
Everybody I called says out if stock.

 

Had the dealer install them, as a throw in for my lease
Along with tire insurance, & all season rubber TLX/ASPEC mats

 

Called my closest dealer. They said 08W42-TK4-201 is the part number. However, when I go to some of the Acura online sites, it says it does not fit. May go with the Gorillas if they won't ship them to me.

 

I was told by the place where I get my parts (Bernardi Acura Parts) that online web sites other than related to dealerships are unreliable for the first year or so after vehicle release. In addition the model year selection is usually a year or two behind..

They verified through my VIN that the tk4-201 were the proper locks. And they had them in stock. 70$

 

I'm curious how you drill down to that part number. (PREO-PS3-015). Even when I searched the internet that part number I can't get any site to verify or confirm that it would fit a TLX a spec.
I'm just worried with all of the misinformation out there that the ones I ordered may not fit!

 

When I search thoibio's oemacuraparts.com link this is what comes up for 2023 TLX.
As you can see two different selections present with PREO-PS3-015; chrome & PREO-PS3-014; black.


When I search Dreamshop.honda.com for 2023 TLX A-Spec the following results show up:


Interestingly enough, the PREO-PS3-014 or 15 does not show up, why?

However, the prefix 08W42 wheel locks that present give you the option of two black (one may be a black the other a Black chrome variation?) & one chrome.

The 08W42-SHJ-101 that appears on the oemacuraparts.com first result page above does not even present on the Dreamshop.honda.com result.
No rhyme or reason!

I believe the 'differences' are due to how well the websites are maintained with the best current data from Acura / Honda & part number supersession updates?

 

I wonder if that is their stock number. I have seen several online Acura directs wholesale sites that have the exact same layout and different shipping prices. Wonder if there is a second level of parts departments whose numbers are unique to OEM.
