Gorilla Automotive 38431N Honda Ball Seat Wheel Locks (12mm x 1.50" Thread Size)

• 12mm x 1.50 Thread size

I was looking for wheel locks for my Honda Accord. After removing an existing lug nut and did some research, I realize Honda is using "ball seat" or "radius seat" lug nuts. Wheel lock for this type of seat seems not commonly available in retail parts stores like Autozone or Pepboys (most common one is cone seat). You want to have the correct seat to ensure enough area of the seat is in contact between the wheel and the nuts.

This wheel lock has the correct seat (for my Honda alloy wheel), confirmed by tightening one to my wheel, then removing it to observe that there are wide enough contact marks on the seat itself (not just one line/ring, but a band of a few mm wide).

At first the nuts look too short, but having contact marks at the seat confirms that it is actually long enough to have a tight and secure contact with the wheel itself.

The color matches with my old lug nuts (more shiny of course). It is noticeably shorter, but that's a way of showing there is a wheel lock nut in place.

One star is off because the key already shown slight sign of wear at the hex side after installing just four locks. It is just a very slight "dent" and scratches because of the contact with socket though, nothing to be worried about.
