Need to know if this is an oem locking lug nut, so I can attempt to buy a key for it at the dealership. I would drive it to the dealership to find out, but it's a parts car (no engine). It has 7 splines on it. Some of the splines are thicker than the others... Below are some pics:

 

If it is an oem lug nut, anyone know if Honda and Acura share the same keys? TIA

 

you can buy a locking lug nut key kit, i guess its a bit pricey as this is being a parts car, but it does its job.

 

A tool or set similar to this will suffice...

If you know anyone who's a mechanic or works at a tire shop, you might be able to borrow it without having to buy it!

Even if those are factory, keys may be unavailable without knowing the key code for it.

From what I've researched, I believe there are only around 10 different keys for the oem locking lug nuts. My plan was to stick silly putty over the lug nut to make an impression that I could match with one of the dealership keys, since I can't drive the car.

However, I'd like to rule out if it's OEM or not, than take it from there.

 

thats not oem

thats not what I wanted to hear

Thanks for the heads up though, I'll start thinking of other options

 

uhm, is that wheel stud snapped off? there should be atleast 1-2thread sticking out of the nut

 

That looks like it's from Gorilla Locks.

Those are pretty good, I had them on my old CRX.

It's easy to get it out, just hammer in a 12 point socket and impact it out if you do not have the nut remover kit.

And no that nut is 100% ok, that is how it is.

 

In case you're stuck in the same boat it came off with ease with a 12 point 21mm socket and a couple of whacks with the hammer. I'm sure Gorilla locks are glad to hear that... And the rims sold the same day
