I use McGard spline drive, and I’m very happy with them. They are two piece, not stupid long, and are strong.

I'm using advanced wheel locks, they are usually out of stock but restock quick.

For my OEM wheels I use McGard 25167 which has a radius or ball seat to fit the Honda wheels.

They come with black plastic caps that are a bit larger than OEM

btw, I also looked and evaluated other

https://us.rimgard.com/products/honda
https://advancedlocks.com
https://rimlox.com

and the OEM Honda locks: 08W42-TG7-101A (which I believe are McGard)

also see:

out of these, RimLox seemed the best as far as protection, but since I am a cheapskate and park either in my garage (behind a gate on the driveway, plus dogs) or on a Navy base, I figured that I do not need the absolute best protection...

Project Kics Monolith! They come in various colors aside from these. You can buy ball seat to conical seat adapters to run any aftermarket lugs of your choice if you choose to stick with the Oem wheels.

OEMs, I run (2) OEM wheel locks on each wheel. Aftermarket I'll pick up some aftermarket McGards or something along those lines.

I have the monolith too and can second them. I love how all of them are locks so you dont have to deal with switching to a wheel lock to get the last nuts.

They don't work on stock wheels though 😅

These are cool. I want them for my stock wheels but it looks like @Rhorn said they will not work. Does anyone know what it takes to get these to work with the stock wheels? Conical sets correct? Sorry boys, I come from the Euro lug bolt world where Lug nuts are not a thing lol.

Honda OEM wheels have a "spherical" or "ball" seat

most "normal" wheels have straight conical seats.
