Hi, I recently purchased some Racing Hart C5 3 piece and I want to protect it from thieves. I'm sure some of you guys might be familiar with the Racing Hart lug and center cap covers. If I buy the honda OEM wheel locks, will I be able to put the center cap of my racing harts on? Do they stick out so much that I can't put the cap on? If so, what are some good wheel locks that dont stick out. thanks for your input

Most OEM Honda wheels use a spherical/ball type lug nut, where as most aftermarket wheels use conical/tapered lugs. You shouldn't use a conical/tapered lug on a spherical/ball type wheel seat.

I recommend McGard SplineDrive lug nuts as these use two keys one for the lock and one for the other 12 lugs.

the spline drives have a conical seat, do the c5s fit that? or do they have a different seating?

The best thing to do is call and check about the wheel's lug nut seating surface.
