You'll probably get them cheaper at any tire place than you will at Autozone or similar.

I think I paid $18 for mine from Discount Tire.

Most aftermarket wheels are conical seat while the OEM lug nuts and wheels are ball seat. So make sure the ones you get are conical, also the thread pitch is M12 x 1.5 so you'll need to get lug nuts that match that thread pitch

Interesting! I was just randomly reading through some wheel info, tires, etc and came across this thread. I notice you mention M12X1.5 as thread pitch. I'm assuming this is the same thread pitch as my 2018 Civic EXT Hatch lugnuts.

With this being said, will these fit ---> Mutegi Lug Nuts (Black) ? Just asking so to be extra careful before ordering them. Thanks for the info btw and I know this is an 'older' post/thread. Also posting this here with this link for me to find later (I'm @work atm).

pitch should be the same across all the Civic's. the more important part is getting the right type (conical or ball seat), if you use a conical on a stock wheel designed for ball seat you can and most likely WILL shear off studs, trust me it's not fun when you are doing 70 MPH down the highway and you hear a loud pop and the car starts violently shaking and you make it over to the side of the highway to find only 1 or 2 lug nuts still holding one of your front wheels on (I did this in my 95 Civic like 15 years ago), I kept shearing wheel studs and couldn't figure out why until someone told me I was running the wrong lug nuts for those wheels. Having a wheel nearly fall off the car is pretty fucking scary, do yourself a favor and make sure you get the right type of lugnut for your wheels, go to a tire shop, they will know what is right.
