yikes. i came across those ****ty lug nuts at autobacs too. i knew just by looking at the packaging that it's some cheap stuff. drive down to inline four or aerodyne and ask for lug nuts. it's more likely that inline four has them in stock. i would call first before going just to save the trip. oh yeah, tell them about tread pitch too! i dont know what honda thread pitches are.

edit: **** i'm going to get myself a set tomorrow!

these look like they fit. i dont know about the bore though. we have 60.10mm bore to use, the lug nuts may be shorter.

If I remember right there was a vendor here offering $79 for the McGard splinedrive set.

Edit: Here it is, it is TM Engineering.

McGard Splinedrives are second to none. I had a set of them with matching locks for my previous Lexus' for many years. The are made with high quality materials and they do not deteriorate like the cheap "tuner" lugs you find at any shop. You can buy cheaper wheel lugs and locks for your wheels but why would you cut corners on your Lexus? That's like putting cheap discount regular unleaded gas in your car. McGard is also the OEM supplier to Toyota/Lexus/Scion for all their wheel locks.

i got the mcgards and the key for the lock broke on the very first lock. had to pay to ship it back to them for them to send me a replacement. same thing happened to another person on this forum as well. other than that, they've been fine and do what they're suppose to do... no tarnishing or anything.
