I just got these rims and they will be going on my 95 EG.

My main priority is to have lugs that no one will have the key to so that they are less stealable.

TIA

ps. seach i have

EDIT:

I just took a look at all of the lugs that came with my car and they all have a TAPERED seat.
Maybe the owner who had it before me bought those?

MY QUESTION IS:

Would it be ok if i bought OEM lugs to replace the tapered ones i got now and use one bull lock on each wheel. Meaning i would have 3 oem acorn lugs and one tapered bull lock on each wheel

OEM Honda with OEM wheel locks.

If you`re extra paranoid, buy 4 sets of Honda wheel locks and put a different one on each wheel so you have 4 different locks per wheel.

 

my friend recommended Mugen wheel locks which are 60 bucks. they got seven sides on them and his rims never got stolen with those.

thanks anyways

 

after market lug nuts that require a key to open... just like wheel locks AND a set of wheel locks.

I dont think you're wheels will be going anywhere with all that on there. i bought my lugs from HERE

Those plus OEM wheel locks

 

i have mugen lugz and they look great. If someone wants your rims bad they will take it regardless of what lugs you have

 

thanks for the replies

 

also you need a OEM style lug nut. can't use the aftermarket tapered ones for stock wheels.

 

oem lugs are fine... and any wheel lock will do.. you dont need mugen locks

Yep, the acorn style seats. If anyone knows of any aftermarket lugs with an acorn style base let me know. My lugs are beat to hell and I want some different ones.

 

so wait i cant use AFTERMARKET lugs on the SI's? what wheel locks should i get then?

I really dont want my rims stolen, i will take any extra steps to make sure that doesnt happen.

Not unless they use an acorn style seat, which I don't know of any aftermarket lugs that use them. Unless somebody else chimes in it looks like you're stuck with OEM locks. Honestly though, locks will slow down a theif, but not a whole damn lot.

 

so where should i get my locks then?

 

VOLK/RAYS are good and nice cool colors too!

They will "fit" but over time they will destroy the lug seats and loosen themselves.

 

how much time are we talking about here?

 

im in the same boat. anybody know how much these oem honda lug nuts cost?

 

i got my oem honda wheel locks for 42 bux if i can remember i heard they are the best every lock is different and the company dat makes em is called Maguard or Meguard sumthin like dat

doesn't matter, if they are going hurt something then why even risk it. Buy some OEM locks, that is what I have. Like others have said "Locks will only slow thieves down, and if they want something bad enough they will get it."

 

Im using Mcguard wheellocks on my fat fives. works fine.

 

im still gonna try getting those Mugen lugs, ill see if they fit and if not then i guess ill have to go oem

 

Im pretty sure mugens have a tapered seat.

Now you know what to look for:

good diagram, moto.

WHy are you going to waste 60+ for Mugen lugs when you dont know if they will fit for sure? No one is going to steal Si wheels. If they're going to steal your wheels, they're going to steal the whole car.

Listen to the guys with experience.... OEM wheels locks!

Ok, from what I was told from a different moderator. The spoon gunmetals nuts are for stock wheels and come in the acorn form. So there's a thought if you want aftermarket lugnuts. You can also get the NSX lugnuts to.

I'll be putting the spoon lugnuts on my ITR gunmetals.
