Is there a difference between a set of 4 keyed Lug Locks from an Auto Parts store for $12 and Honda's for $34?????

Are Honda's really that much better? :dunno:

Thanks.

Buy you a set of gorilla chrome plated lugnuts..............$25-$30........better in every way.:thmsup:

Thanks, but I got the Honda ones, anyway. I figured if I ever lost the key, I could go to any Honda dealer and get a replacement.

Thanks again. :thmsup:

Something to pay attention to:

The key (no pun intended!) difference lies in the 'seat' of the lug-nut (whether a regular one, a hex one w/ it's own spline-adapter, or a lock-one w/ it's own key-adapter). OEM/stock wheels require lugs w/ a ball-seat (also known as acorn-like, due to being rounded at the bottom), whereas after-market wheels require lugs w/ a tapered-seat (also known as conical-like, being angled at the bottom).

If you choose to swap-out your OEM/stock lug-nuts and/or lock-lugs, make sure you get the same applicable type for your OEM/stock wheels!

Regarding price-difference, it's obviously in the grade of steel-alloy used & the durability of the finish. OEM/stock lug-nuts generally weigh 25%+ more than after-market steel-alloy lug-nuts by comparison. . .

I'd be more worried about the lug and key breaking (http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/showthread.php?t=8882). After seeing how poorly made the OEM (McGard) locks are, I replaced them with Gorilla locks.
