Where to get new lugs?

I went to autozone to find new lugs for my 16" rsx-s rims. My LX lugs stick out too much, i dont like it. Autozone only had Acorn seats and Mag seats. Gorilla nuts only had black lugs... none were ball seats

Do i need BALL seats / rounded seats?
Is 12 x 1.5 the correct size?
What other dimensions do i need to worry about?
I might get some wheel locks from there too...


Thanks.

I looked at Gorilla nuts and they dont have BALL seats.

Actually... i just seen this
Gorilla Automotive Products - Lug Nuts, Wheel Locks, Auto Security, Wheel Accessories

It says HONDA. Ball seat. it says 3/4" not 19mm. I guess theyre the same though. Thanks

Mcgard lugs are great and often overlooked, very high quality and nice durable finish. you paid a lot for your lugs though. my friend got his from wheeldude.com for around 120 for all the spline lugs and locking set.

find a honda civic si's vin number and give it to the dealer, tell them that you want the lug nuts for "your" car, of course the supplied vin one. The stock Si lug nuts are short because they don't need to hold on hubcap (HAHAHAHAH HUBCAPS for NON-si's) Sorry. But yeah, they are a lot shorter.

hmm. I actually can't remember how much my whole set was. I think it was more like 130+tax. I was just throwing out a number cause I couldn't remember. Eh, it's all done and gone. I got them a while ago and it doesn't bother me if I was cheaped out on 10 to 20 dollars. I'm just glad I got a McGard lugs cause I've read nothing but GOOD things about those lugs.

he paid above $100 for a set of "painted" spline lug nuts that cost maybe at its greatest $60 with a paint that would chip at the first removal/install of the lug nuts.
