if u are really that scared then put two sets of wheel locks on each rim.

most tuner lug nuts use the same key. that's why they are pointless.

All Honda-Acura brand wheels (including GS-R blades) have a ball-shaped seating area, and you need to make sure you use lug nuts and wheel locks which also have a ball-shaped seating area. Most aftermarket lug nuts and wheel locks are made for aftermarket wheels and have a tapered (conical) shaped seating area, which you should NOT use on Honda-Acura wheels.

Any Honda or Acura car dealer can sell you a set of wheel locks that are branded as Honda or Acura, but are actually made by McGard. They typically sell for $25-30. You can also get a set for $16.20 from San Leandro Honda.
