Reminder: Si/CTR Wheel Locks

[Design]

Hey All -

Since the CTR, Si, and Hatch Sport all have more coveted wheels, I thought I would send a quick reminder about wheel locks.

• McGard and Gorilla primarily offer a cone-seated wheel lock nut. (aka tapered)
• Honda uses a ball-seated lug nut. (aka shank)

Cone style on the left, ball style on the right.

If wanting to add wheel locks, make sure to get ball-seated ones to ensure the locking nut is properly seated against the OEM wheel. Failure to do so can strip the lug and/or cause vibration in the wheels.

I believe McGard supplies the Honda branded wheel locks. Here are the part IDs:

• Si/Hatch Sport Black: 08W42-S2A-100
• Si/Hatch Sport Chrome/polished: 08W42-SCV-101
• CTR chrome/polished: 08W42-TK4-100 (please confirm with seller first)

Finally here's a simple (albeit boring) video on the difference.




Further discussion can be found in this thread among others. Feel free to add/correct anything I may have missed.

Amazon has 08W42-SCV-101 for $40 and change, Prime eligible. Mine just showed up today. The ad shows the old clamshell package, but you'll get the set with the storage bag.

I had the Honda wheel locks on my '15. Before trading it in, I put the regular lug nuts back on, and now have the wheel locks on my '17 coupe. I wasn't about to pay for them again...and i'm sure the dealer would have stripped them off and not sold them with the car anyway. I also kept the all season mats & trunk liner. I'll most likely sell them on CL to help fund the ones I need for the '17.
