I'm looking to get set of ALL locking lug nuts (not just 4) for my HFP rims. I was looking at either Gorilla or Muteki lugs, but does anyone know if they will fit the rim? Are all OEM Honda rims acorn style?

Will the muteki or gorilla locking nuts fit the 98-00 blade rims?

To my knowledge all Honda rims are acorn style. Aftermarket lugs nuts come in either conical (cone shaped) or acorn (ball shaped). The ones you have pictured above look like they are both conical. I would try to find a set of acorn style so you know they will fit right.

Are you sure? I've never seen an aftermarket lug with an acorn seat. I've searched a long time too, because my OEM are all corroded and nasty.

And to the OP, I think the OEM lock nuts would give better protection than the 4 lock 'tuner' style lugs.

I'm almost positive I've seen them. I was looking for new lug nuts last spring/summer and ended up buying a set of OEM lugs from this guy on eBay from a 00 Si for $18 with OEM locks. No corrosion with some minor scratches. I'll see if I can find them again.

Sweet, let me know, because I definitely need replacements. I even went to the McGuard site (who make the OEM lugs and locks) and they didn't even have any acorns available for purchase. At that point, I just gave up

If you want OEM, just watch eBay. You can usually find a few sets of Honda OEM lugs and locks on there for a good price.

Be careful. I noiced a lot of companies (on eBay and others I found through searching on Google) advertise "acorn style" in the titles of the lug nuts but in the description they say conical seat.

you are right. I found the Gorilla lug nut locks there and at a few other places. I haven't found the lug nuts them selves yet though. I tried searching for "acorn lug nuts" but everything seemed to be conical. So then I tried searching for "ball seat lug nuts" and found a bunch of ball seat lug BOLTS. I also found the lug nut locks in that search but I can't finish looking right now since my lunch break is over. I'll try looking for them again later.

i got black gorillas work fine.

TouringAccord

are they conical or acorn shaped? What rims do you have?

For those wondering, I got the rims off a guy on JDMCivic.com. 4x100, 16" x 6.5". I was about to get Bronze Rota C8s but got a deal I couldn't pass up on these, and also wanted to be different.

Seems like everyone has a different opinion on whether aftermarket lugs will work for stock rims . I guess I'll just get OEM locks to be safe. Someone on another forum brought up the fact that gunmetal spoon lugs will work, but they also cost $100. Here's the link if anyone's interested
