Default Need new Lug Nuts. ASAP

One night found car on bricks after alarm went off.
Bought Honda Lock nuts for $60 and they are twice the weight of a regular lug nut. So they thru off the balance and my car has this annoying vibration now at all speeds.

I need set of lugs for my stock rims, most deff with a pattern that not any wheel thief can get off. I heard most Lug Nuts out there from Works and other makes are strictly for aftermarket wheels and they are tapered.

So what do I do?

Ohh darn, wrong forum?

i dont think the lug nut threw it off, its more of your wheels not being balanced... but 12x1.5 is what you mean i believe

Lugs back on and it doesnt vibrate any more. I've heard Honda USA uses cheap Lock Nuts and UK/Japan didn't so there was even a group buy on here on them back in the day. At least that is what I was told before.

But I am 99.9% sure its the lugs, prior to me installing locks I had no issues. Wheel weights not missing and all in place as well.

yes, also check your torque settings. I never had a problem with my honda wheel locks either.

i agree. not to mention the lug nuts cant throw off balance that much, and they're placed so close to the center of the wheel it will throw it off even less...?
