wheel lock for OEM wheel

Am I only able to get wheel locks from the dealer to fit my fat fives? I searched and read about McGards not fitting OEM wheels.

if you buy them from dealer and somehow lose your key. you can take it to them and theyll unlock it for you for free. a new key would be 30-50

Re: wheel lock for OEM wheel (iH8RICERZ)

The reason you need to get wheel locks from a dealer is that Honda/Acura wheels have a ball-shaped ("radius") seating area (the area where the wheel is in contact with the lug nuts) and you need lug nuts (locks) which also have a ball-shaped seating area, which the dealer ones do and most others don't.

The wheel locks the dealer sells, marked as Honda brand, are actually made by McGard.
