Wow, could this be any more relevant to me...this weekend i had 5 lugs stolen, no idea how i didnt have the OEM wheel locks, but either way, person must have got spooked, didnt take rims or anything, and ended up finding 3 of my lugs ditched about 10 yards away. This was after i backed up and drove forward 3 feet at which point the tire fell off. Jacked it up, and used the 3 lugs i found to atleast secure it so i could get home but when tire fell it ripped off the screw on the rotor. Prob need a new rotor. Either way dodged a bullet.

But, since then, ive wanted to buy a aftermarket complete wheel lock (20 wheel lock lug nuts) set and was wondering the best recommended package for OEM rims and rotors. If anyone has found a legit package please let me know, im bull **** about this whole situation

So anyone have an idea of which ones are safe to buy?

hmm... i just found this... it's .25 inches taller, but i think they may work?

I'm not sure if this would work, it's 1.5 instead of 1.25.. anyone know?

Thats the thread pitch. you still need 1.25 or they wont screw on.

Its not the length thats the problem, its the width. The stock wheels have slightly larger holes to accomodate the shank style lug nuts.

I knew about this from a fellow V6Performance.net Accord owner that put G37 wheels on with aftermarket lugnuts. The results make me cry every time I look at the pictures.

this is good to know....if someone is thinking of putting spacers on does that mean they would have to stick with one of the hubcentric bolt on variety kits? where you can still use your own bolts? (or i guess find a perfect match (only longer) bolt)...

Thats what they get for stealing G37 wheels.


I kid

You definitely want a hubcentric set regardless if they are bolt on or stud replacement but yeah you would want a set made for our car so the thread and pitch is the same as stock.
