I had wheel locks on my 2011 pilot touring . they were flush and were the same level as the regular bolts.
i traded in my 2011 and got a 2012 (18 inch rims) i checked with Honda , they said the wheel locks are the same part # for 2011 and 2012. (honda wheel locks are made my Mcguard) I put them on my 2012 wheels and they look so ugly cause they stick out too much. they are no longer flush. i checked online for mcguard locks, and they dont offer any other kind that would fit. I also looked up gorilla locks, they are so dont have anything that would be shorter in that size that would be flush. i guess honda was too lazy to redesign a wheel lock that would fit nice on the 2012 18 inch wheels! anybody have any suggestions? thanks |

Maybe check oemacuraparts and see if the part numbers are the same.

hmmm...yeah i noticed that the wheel locks stick out too...first saw it on the 2012's at the dealership...we just recently purchased & received our 2012 EX-L, and we wanted it accessory-free...however, i guess they threw in the wheel locks...not sure why they weren't designed to fit flush with the other lugs

Being that these wheel locks stick out like that for the 2012 18 inch rims, I wonder if it will cause any kind of wheel balance/alignment
issues at high speeds. I haven't experienced any bumpiness yet but logically, it should cause a slight wheel imbalance.

The factory wheel lock is about 1.375 inches long and I don't think anyone makes a shorter lock. While not what you're looking for, Gorilla does make longer lug nuts that are about the same length as the factory lock that will even out the look; or use 2011 lug nuts.
