i got a set of mcgard wheel locks. person who sold it to me told me its for acura/honda.
i got ls/gs mesh on my civic hatch (stock acrua wheels)
but putting them on today makes me think they are not for my wheels!
heres why:
first it doesnt fit my tire wrench (so i used a monkey wrench to put it on):

this is how it looks on my car:

and finally oem on left and mcgard lock nut on right...notice the rounded/acorn edge of oem and sharper/straighter taper end to the mcgard.


please let me know if these lock nuts can b used properly on my wheels!
thanks!

not suppose to use taper style lugs on oem wheels they dont really seat right

Spade

If they are tightened all the way and there is any sort of gap between them then don't use them.

You need a larger lug wrench for the McGard's wheel lock key.

However, as Hayabusa160 stated - you should not be using tapered style lugs on OEM wheels.
