Exactly. I have the same wheel locks, and they won't technically fit your new aftermarket wheels. The seating on the Honda ones are ball, while the lugs you're getting from TireRack are straight. If you wait to get your wheels in, you'll see the difference.
yes
they're basically the same thread size lug nut as all your other lugs except they cant be twisted off with a regular wrench, you need the key
so yes your wheels locks & lugs will fit with different wheels because they're all going onto the same bolts

the biggest question is what type of lugs your aftermarket wheels use.. if your aftermarket use stock type lugs, they will work.. otherwise you should be using the appropriate type of lugs.. "tuner" lugs are quite common
these are the wheels in question: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Whee...alse&filterBrand=All&filterNew=All&sort=Brand

The oem lugs & wheel locks for any Honda/Acura employ a rounded seat. Most aftermarket wheels use a "cone" shape or "V" shape seat (Volk, BBS, etc...). I would not use oem wheel locks if my aftermarket wheels use cone shaped lugs. Just check the lugs that come with your aftermarket wheels. The seating area should be identical with oem wheel locks. If they are coned shape like a "V" where it sits on the wheel. I don't care what anyone else says, DO NOT USE OEM WHEEL LOCKS!

merged your other thread.. simons2k is correct
what if your aftermarket wheels didnt come with lug nuts?
i ordered RPM2s obviously with the honda 5 bolt pattern and they didnt come with lugs... so i would assume they wanted you to use your stock lugs? ive been using the OEM lugs&locks for awhile with no bad things happening

my rays wheels didn't come with lug nuts but the OEM ones definitely aren't designed for that kind of wheel

The thread pattern is the same but I'm talking about the seating surfaces. If you have a coned shape hole you should use coned shape lugs. If you use oem lugs/locks (round) in a coned shape hole there is not enough of the lug surface sitting in the hole. It might feel tight but under load such as hard cornering, you'll be stressing the contact points....not good.
It's like trying to use a "standard" wrench on a "metric" nut. It might work but you should use metric.
People should never assume anything, especially in the safety department. Safety is not a matter of opinion. Get the facts, and do it right! If you didn't get the correct lugs from your vendor, you should call and get them.
I am also having problems I just got my wheels but no lugs. I would like to get blue bright blue lug nuts but idk wheich size to look for???
