Ordered 16in fully polished steel gray slipstreams last night last set they had :) will be coming this week or next. Will post photos! Afters months of deciding what wheel i want....BUT What locking lug nuts do you guys prefer i heard gorilla is the best? I do not want a locking lug that people can get off with a hex sockets. Also i saw the oem ones from honda that the key looks a bit different and harder to get off. I just want to be able to sleep at night comfortably thanks

You need to run conical lugs like gorilla, or pretty much any other aftermarket lug nut, with aftermarket wheels. The shape is different than oem wheels/lug nuts.

I would never run gorilla lug nuts again. Easiest to steal. My in-law was able to open it with a regular socket when I had the grollia socket key on me. Your best bet is to buy a set of lugnuts with locks.

You live in a bad area? I just had cheapo lug nuts with the autozone key and I had rpf's; if you live in a safe area, I'm pretty sure your Rotas will be fine.

Well hey I know they are just rota but with tires it will be close to 900 which is a nice chunk of change to me... If you guys could name some brands. Around 100 I'm willing to pay or anything to keep my wheels safe from theifs and I live in ok area but there is people in the area I just don't trust and are known for stealing parts.
