Wheel lock help! *pics inside*
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!

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.
