I have a set of 02 16" HFP Wheels for my Civic EX. I'm looking at buying some lug nuts for them w/ locks. I want to purchase some Rays in Red but I've read that they have problems over time. I've also read that they don't fit well on the OEM Honda wheels. Anyone experienced these problems or can give me their opinion on this subject? Anyone have the Rays on OEM wheels? If anything I'll probably just purchase some OEM Honda lug locks but the Rays red would look good on my Rallye Red..

 

Use OEM lugs and locks for your OEM wheels.

As you can see in the picture, aftermarket and OEM wheels/lugs have different shapes (OEM is the ball/radius, aftermarket is the conical/tapered), so if you mix the two, the contact will not be sufficient.

 

Spoon makes light aluminum lugs with the acorn/ball seat. red is available also.

Thanks for the information. So, if I wanted a aftermarket lug lock set like Spoon mentioned by Dave421 then I'd have to get some that are ball/radius.

If there is manufactorers that make the aftermarket ball/radius? I'll research it, just wondering if anyone knows offhand.

do you still have your wheels? jk.. yeah I ordered some today.

 

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but does anyone know if Rota - SubZero's are conical or ball? I have ball/radius lugs right now and they seem to match up with the wheel, I just want to make sure.

 

For Rota's, you should use conical/tapered lug nuts.

 

I have not been able to locate the ball lugs in red on the spoon website??HELP???? :
IN fact, I have not been able to locate any 19MM ball lugs in red for my 2007 S2000...help..

 

i would recommend OEM locks
