They are very similar to the McGard locks. Same design. (may be even made by them, I don't know). McGard also has the spline drive locks, but those aren't used on stock wheels, so it depends on your application. I used OEM for my stock wheels and now use McGard for my aftermarket.

Take this into account - if the theives want your wheels, they will get them. Locks only slow down low level punks, not pro's. So as long as you have them, it is more of a peace-of-mind thing, and either one will do the trick. Remember that the stock lugs have different shaped bases than aftermarket ones as well if you order non-OEM locks.

You can get genuine Honda/McGard locks at H and A for $30. If you order $200 worth of other parts at the same time, you can get the wheel locks for $15. They have two styles short and long. I'd get the short ones and you'd hardly be able to notice they were wheel locks.
