Default Locking Lugs Nuts for OEM Wheels?

Besides the oem Honda lock lugs, what else is out there? I looked on Summit Racing at the McGuards, and they all seem to be conical and not acorn. What are you guys using for your oem wheels and where do you get them???

My only concern is that every one has Gorilla tuner (spline style) lugs, as Discount Tire sells them like crazy and the keys are plentiful. Hopefully, the longer Gorilla key as mentioned above can't be used with these: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku


And thanks for correcting my typing mishap.

This thread also helped a lot with clarifying the whole ball seat and conical lug thing.

im not referring to those tuner 'locking' lugs and i know about all those universal keys people have.

those tuner splined lugs are conical seated.

we arent talking about conical seated lugs.

we are talking about ball seated lug locks for oem rims.

some of the best companies have been named already: gorilla and mcguard wheel locks...

search their sites and ask them.

Did you click on my link? The ball seat lugs are shorter but the profile still looks like the "everyone has them" Gorilla conical tuner lugs (even though the key is shorter).
