Locking Wheel Nuts?

jaywo · 04-04-2006, 10:37 AM

I just picked up a set of rims and want to put some locking wheel nuts on them.

At the parts stores here the guides only have up to 2004 cars. (I know we have crappy stores) But I dont know what size locking wheel nuts to get?

Anyone know the size or if it saze in the manual?

Thanks

The only caution I would add is some aftermarket wheel have VERY little room between the lug and the indent for the lug. These often require spline lugs. In such a case normal wheel locks will not work as the tool cannot fit around the outside of the lock and have the whole assembly fit into the indent for the lug.

I bought the Honda ones from the dealer... I'll let you know if they worked ok.

The lug nuts are the same size for all the previous years. i'm using the same ones that I had on my 2003 civic.
