I was looking for wheel locks for my Honda Accord. After removing an existing lug nut and did some research, I realize Honda is using "ball seat" or "radius seat" lug nuts. Wheel lock for this type of seat seems not commonly available in retail parts stores like Autozone or Pepboys (most common one is cone seat). You want to have the correct seat to ensure enough area of the seat is in contact between the wheel and the nuts.
This wheel lock has the correct seat (for my Honda alloy wheel), confirmed by tightening one to my wheel, then removing it to observe that there are wide enough contact marks on the seat itself (not just one line/ring, but a band of a few mm wide).
At first the nuts look too short, but having contact marks at the seat confirms that it is actually long enough to have a tight and secure contact with the wheel itself.
The color matches with my old lug nuts (more shiny of course). It is noticeably shorter, but that's a way of showing there is a wheel lock nut in place.
One star is off because the key already shown slight sign of wear at the hex side after installing just four locks. It is just a very slight "dent" and scratches because of the contact with socket though, nothing to be worried about.

I was not sure if they would fit my 2011 Honda Accord. They fit great. The key is a little heavy. The locks seem sturdy and well made.

These look great and are the same size as the factory lugs. I used them on a 2009 Honda Fit. You really have to look close to see the locks vs. the regular lugs.

Works great on my 2013 honda accord sport. The price was one third the cost the dealer was charging for the same product. also this product has a unique key unlike most locks you buy at autozone, or other parts stores. if someone really wants my rims they will probably have to steel the car so they can take it somewhere to work on getting these locks off. just a reminder, dont leave the lock in the car.......

These are round cut "ball seat" wheel lock nuts. Needed this for the OEM wheels of a 2005 honda civic. They sit deep in the well, and make it hard for anyone to get something in their to pop/cut them off without destroying the wheel. Perfect security! Will buy again. 3 years and 3 seasons of harsh snow winter salt, no rust, no corrosion visible.
