Default Black locking lug nuts

I am looking for a set of 20 lug nuts in black, i would like to have the acura/honda style lock and key, however i am open to other locking types.

The problem is that the only set i have found thus far in my search has flats on the locking nut for each wheel. this to me is stupid because anyone with pliers could pull it off.

any suggestions/ links would be very helpful

thanks

Don't forget kyogugen, they are black and also a wheel lock. Follow the instructions on the box and you won't run into any problems.

The only thing that sucks about Gorilla nuts is that the keys break. I have had this happen twice to me, so now I just rock OEM. I heard Mugen is nice though..

First of all, you have to decide whether these are for stock Honda/Acura wheels, or aftermarket wheels. Most stock Honda/Acura wheels have an acorn, or spherical-shaped, seating surface. (The seating surface is the area around the hole, where the lug nut comes into contact with the wheel.) And the stock lug nuts have an acorn seating surface to match.

Most aftermarket wheels have a conical, or tapered-shaped, seating surface, and come with lug nuts that match.

Whatever lug nuts you are considering should have the same shape seating surface as your wheels.

If you are looking for black lug nuts to use for Honda/Acura stock wheels, you can get lug nuts for a stock '91-96 NSX. They are black and they will work. You can also get a set of Acura wheel locks to match (also black). Expect to pay around $4-5 each for the lug nuts (list is $5.84 and price is $4.53 at http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org) and $30-40 for the set of locks (list is $43.06 and price is $33.09 at http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org).

I had the McGard's with my Spoon SWs. I believe a certain Mr. G. Knighton may still be using them. I thought they were pretty good. They were "tapered", not "acorn" like the OEM Honda's.

HTH,
