I had to buy a set of compatible lug nuts just to get home.

The next working day I ordered the correct Honda Lug Nuts from our local dealership.

BTW, I'm glad there were no serious mishaps for you, godgib.
Well I pulled into the dealer this morning, Gave them a mouth full... Well to say the least I got $60 worth of lugs for free, and was out by 7:50AM. I even spoke to the tech who did the work, becuase I wan't to make sure they at least used a torque stick. He was a Young Kid, but someone in that shop should of known that the lugs didn't fit. I should of gave the shop manager a ear full. Oh Well... No Harm to the RL, it's safe and riding smooooooth.... Still i may have gotten away cheap, but what ordeal....
