Re: best wheel lock? (blackie)
Whatever you get, you need to make sure it's designed for your wheels. Honda/Acura brand wheels have a ball-shaped seating area, and need lug nuts (including wheel locks) that also have a ball-shaped seating area. Most aftermarket wheels have a tapered shaped seating area and need nuts and locks that match. See picture below.
Honda brand wheel locks (the ones you get at the dealer) are made by McGard. I've used them for 20 years and I've never had any problems with them.

They show them here but you can't order them from the site; you have to call up.

What, you can't torque down wheel lock nuts?
