Are you sure you want gorilla lug nuts? What color are your wheels? Have you looked at other brands like kyokugen?

Honda thread pattern is 12x1.5

Nissans (and others) use 12x1.25

yeah the kyokugens are cool. i got mines for $30.00 and i was gonna buy wheel locks too but the guy told me it is 7 sided and that it acts as a wheel lock. i still want wheel locks. does anybody know of light weight black wheel locks to go with my kyokugen's?

I busted a gorilla lug nut one winter, somehow the lug got rusted when I went to Atl. one christmas and it snowed and salt and all that crap was on the road. By the time I got back to NC I think that lug rusted on or something, and the friggin lug nut broke. Dunno if that wouldbe my fault or theres since I have somewhat old lugs on my car, but still, you'd think the lug would break before the lug nut.
Ended up ruining the rim and the lug trying to get the thing off for two days
I don't use em, but I haven't heard anything bad about the Sparcos, if you can get them. If you get Kyokugen just make sure you don't over torque them.
