so ive been driving my R now for 4 years and i dont have any wheel locks. i dont want the OEM honda ones since those are very easy to take off.

these will be for my OEM USDM 2000 ITR wheels

what kind can i get? also some that would be compatible with my kosei as well. i use these for when the 2 times i go to the drag strip a year.

thanks.

 

If you can find aftermarket wheel locks with a ball seat, then you can use those. Otherwise, you'll need to stick with OEM. These wouldn't be compatible with your Koseis.

 

Not worth the hassle and potential PITA when you lose the key.

If you're parking your R in an area where you think your wheels will get stolen you have bigger issues to worry about.

Any thief out to steal wheels will be well aware of how to defeat pretty much any lock you will put on there.

 

Yup. Good advice.

Quoting from the FAQ Topic stickied at the top of the Wheel and Tire forum:

The only wheel locks I'm aware of with the ball shaped seat that you need for the stock wheels are the Honda/Acura branded ones sold at the dealer, which are made by McGard. And no, you should not use those with your aftermarket wheels.

But I also agree with sloEL. Wheel theft is not a big concern with ITR's. The reason the cars, and certain parts (e.g. engines) are stolen as often as they are is that they're compatible with most Integras and Civics. The wheels aren't compatible unless the entire hubs are stolen with them. So the chances of the wheels being stolen are much less than for the car itself. If you want to use wheel locks, though, feel free to go ahead; just make sure they have the same shape seat as the wheels.

 

ok thanks for the replys. what should i get then to go with my kosei? ill just keep those in the car when i mount them at select times.

thanks

 

Don't you think if they have time to steal your wheels, it'd be much easier to just take the car? Seriously I've never heard of anyone having just their R wheels stolen and the car left behind. I wouldn't bother, I'd rather wake up and see my car on the ground or on blocks than not see my car at all.

 

Since you're not going to be keeping the Kosei wheels on your car except for when you're going to the dragstrip, you don't need wheel locks at all. You just need a set of lug nuts with the conical/tapered seating area. You can buy decent, inexpensive ones at any tire shop or auto parts store.

Good job of NOT reading my post above.

 

thanks for all the replyies. i now know what to get now and not mess up my wheels. going to the strip with the stock ITR lugs didnt feel quite right when i was putting them on my kosei.

thanks all
