go to your Acura store or http://www.h-parts.com and look for wheel locks for Integra, Civic, Crv, etc. They are all the same and made by McGard.

Around some places I would NOT buy wheel locks from a dealership. Too many people can get their hands on the "Acura" wheel lock key and before you know it... no more rims or wheel locks to be found.
I suggest ordering some online or go to a store that sells the aftermarket kind in another part of town and possibly 2 sets of diff wheel locks wouldn't be a bad idea depending on the theft rate in your area.

Do thieves steal ITR wheels often? I don't see a high demand in them.

You can still get them off by hammer a socket over the locks and turning it.

Just make sure that they're designed for OEM Honda/Acura wheels, so that they have a spherical (ball-shaped) seating surface, not a conical (tapered) seating surface like most aftermarket wheels.

true that... beside, if thieves jack your OEM ITR wheels, just get the insurance company to pay for a new set of Spoon/Mugen/Volk/etc. 1 OEM ITR wheel from the dealer = ~$400.

I hope he realizes that wheel locks aren't and strong as regular lug nuts and could potentially cause an accident. There's a reason why people only use one, two at best.
