So I came to find that my old Gorilla lugs were 5x114.3 and didn't realize it when I got the conical to ball adapter from Motorsports Hardware. Luckily or unluckily, there aren't a lot of ball seat lugs out there, it seems like, so the adapter is still handy. Anyways, the quest for black lugs continue. Like many others who have posted varieties of different options here from UK OEMs to some $100+ options (that are still conical BTW), I wanted to see if these are possible, cheaper contenders.
https://www.lugnutguys.com/product/bulge-black-cwa-5308spbk-16 (16pc of m14x1.5 lugs)
https://www.lugnutguys.com/product/wheel-locks-exc-20905bk (4pc of m14x1.5 wheel locks)

Any thoughts from anyone as far as accuracy in measurements or experience of buying from these guys? They're free shipping with 20% restocking fee.

If no good solid option still, I might just go with a vinyl nut cap lol

I assume this is for factory wheels? My friend got some from a UK site, the black OEM lugs you can get from overseas...anyway, wish I could remember where he got them from...he sold them to me after he sold his Type R. I say just go for the OEM black ones, can't beat those honestly.

I had bought those adapters for tuner lugs...and didn't feel they were safe so opted for the oem ones.

Black lugs are now found on some Ridgelines/Pilots, at least in Canada. I haven't looked further into this - I have the UK lugnuts from tegiwaimports.com (make an account to see pricing without tax) - so I don't know if the cost is better.

Sorry I'm not clear what you're looking for. Do you want black, ball seat lug nuts for OEM civic wheels?

If so, get the Gorilla kit. 38433XLBC.

Edit: didn't realize I'm in the CTR forum. Ignore me :D

This post is in the Type-R section; those Gorilla lugs are the wrong size for the Type-R (and the Ridgeline/Pilot/Odyssey and I'm guessing the Passport as well)

yeah, my friend got his from system motorsports. I was lucky enough to get them from him even cheaper than what he paid.
