WHAT lug nuts for my new 99 SI RIMS
I just got these rims and they will be going on my 95 EG.
My main priority is to have lugs that no one will have the key to so that they are less stealable.
TIA
ps. seach i have
EDIT:
I just took a look at all of the lugs that came with my car and they all have a TAPERED seat.
Maybe the owner who had it before me bought those?
MY QUESTION IS:
Would it be ok if i bought OEM lugs to replace the tapered ones i got now and use one bull lock on each wheel. Meaning i would have 3 oem acorn lugs and one tapered bull lock on each wheel

OEM Honda with OEM wheel locks.
If you`re extra paranoid, buy 4 sets of Honda wheel locks and put a different one on each wheel so you have 4 different locks per wheel.

Yep, the acorn style seats. If anyone knows of any aftermarket lugs with an acorn style base let me know. My lugs are beat to hell and I want some different ones.

Not unless they use an acorn style seat, which I don't know of any aftermarket lugs that use them. Unless somebody else chimes in it looks like you're stuck with OEM locks. Honestly though, locks will slow down a theif, but not a whole damn lot.

They will "fit" but over time they will destroy the lug seats and loosen themselves.

doesn't matter, if they are going hurt something then why even risk it. Buy some OEM locks, that is what I have. Like others have said "Locks will only slow thieves down, and if they want something bad enough they will get it."

good diagram, moto.
WHy are you going to waste 60+ for Mugen lugs when you dont know if they will fit for sure? No one is going to steal Si wheels. If they're going to steal your wheels, they're going to steal the whole car.
Listen to the guys with experience.... OEM wheels locks!

Ok, from what I was told from a different moderator. The spoon gunmetals nuts are for stock wheels and come in the acorn form. So there's a thought if you want aftermarket lugnuts. You can also get the NSX lugnuts to.
I'll be putting the spoon lugnuts on my ITR gunmetals.
