Cruise at whatever speed u think is best...u have 5 years warranty...after 5 years sell off. Nothing to worry.
Just don't get others into accident if it happens

How much is that DRL fog lamp? Same mounting point?
Is there a pure white version? It looks blueish in photo.

After looking at E speed radio, most probably u want V spec. Unless u plan to change the HU...then how it looks like doesn't really matter..

u can manually lock the car using the key hidden inside the remote when the engine is running.
done this many time already.

Can bring remote out, leave engine running n use the key to lock the door

Just want to find out if Honda City V spec comes with reverse camera ?

Honda website didnt state it. It only stated reverse sensor and 7in display.

If I get the E specs, how do I add a reverse camera ? I only need AUX input, reverse camera and sensor.
*
E spec change whole player n buy camera.
Only v spec can add camera n use back the ori player

Anyone here using 1 mcgard lock nut and 3 ori nut?
How does it affect the wheel balancing?
I weighed them ori n mcgard, 32g vs 60g.

I'm using all 4 is McGard lock nuts with McGard SplineDrive kit... But not sure if it will affect the wheel balancing or not...

Ic... Did u check their weight diff? Or feel by hand if there is any significant diff? I think it would be less than mcgard vs ori.

I feel the diff between them is a little too much n might have vibration issue. Have yet to test it out.

1 mcgard lock nut with 3 ori nuts is a bad combination. After having 2 lock nuts on a wheel, leaving 2 wheels with ori nuts, it's smooth.

Wow, you can feel the different with just the difference of nuts?
Even the torque pressure of locking all nuts are different with the pressure gun. It doesn't matter it if it few grams different. I can't feel the defferents.  The only thing a can fell is when my car is with 1 passenger or with 4 passenger in the car including driver.  That I can feel the different.

Lock nuts with few grams different. Really?
*
U having 3 ori nuts n 1 mcgard lock nut?
Rotational force increases as speed increases. Tyre balancing also play with 1g, 2g, 3g, 5g, 10g.

An imbalance of 28g is serious matter.

It's the same as driving with 4 unbalanced wheels... What do u think will happen?
All I can say is, 28g diff is too much.
If 2g, then the effect is not so much.

You haven't answer my question. By the way, what torque pressure did you use to tighten all the nuts?

Sorry if i missed your question.
All nuts are tighten by hand by me. I don't trust impact gun, as many tyre shop will use too much torque to tighten those nuts. Mcgard lock nut also stated no impact gun as well.

Regarding how much torque to tighten, i can't answer as i dont use torque wrench. Anyway, it's not very important. As long as 4 nuts are tighten similarly, it should be almost equal in tightness.

Balancing is more important. Try taking of the balancing weight on your tyre and see what's gonna happen.
5g off in 1 of your front tyre is enough to send vibration to your steering wheel.

The topic is an interesting thought for a min but when you sit back and look at it, its really an non-issue. Most performance car imported or gray import comes with the single lock nut on. I have been driving City with single lock nut without having any issue or felt any steering vibration. I think there are probably more important issues for you to consider than lock nuts.

Since you worry so much about wheel unbalance. You should invest in torque wrench. Every car has a specific torque pressure for their wheels nut and city wheel nut torque pressure is 80lbft.

All nut torque pressure must be equally torque. If either one nut is over or under tighten, that will cause imbalanced and will generate wear and tear issue on tires, wheel bearing brake pads and etc.
*
There is specific torque for nut... But it's not necessary to follow very closely. As long as they are tighten reasonably... There is no issue with vibration n other wear n tear issue.
Nothing to be worried. If your 80lbft is right, I think my nut is tighten around there.

If u didn't experience any extra vibration before n after using this setup, good for u.

I have never experience any vibration issue with hand tighten nut on wheels.

My main point is, introducing only 1 lock nut to each wheel, and 3 other ori nuts is not recommended as this heavier lock nut induce imbalance rotational force.

I'm just sharing my knowledge n experience. Even before installing these lock nuts, I had this concern, and the result didn't surprise me.

Blurjoey using splinedrive n it's lock nut, which I think their weight is the same or very very close. Therefore no vibration issue. Probably, can sifu blurjoey help measure the weight when doing tyre rotation then.

Placement of the weights matter. The balancing weights are place far from the hub (center of the rotating mass), compared to the lugnuts, therefore those relatively weights can exert considerable force even if they are lightweight.

ie: a 5g weight placed 18cm from the center exerts the same force as a 30g weight place 3cm from the center.

Not saying who's right and who's wrong, since a 5g weight at the wrong place of the rim might also unbalance the wheel. Just wanna clarify it since you compared lugnuts to balancing weights.
*
I have yet to explain this. The further the weight from the centre, the more significant the effect. Thanks for explaining.
So... A diff of 28g is at pcd 100mm is enough to cause my hand n butt to feel it.
Hahaha.

Well if you have bad experience with single lock nut, that causes your wheel inbalance or whatever you are facing, that's too bad. Must be the uneven torque pressure you did for your wheel. Just get a torque wrench.

By hand you can know that u have tighten it around the recommended torque pressure. Champion.
*
Didn't say I tighten to exact. Just an estimate that I'm not too far off it. Torque wrench is not my concern. I'm not dealing with sensitive bolts n nuts.

Did I explain that I put 2 lock nuts on 1 wheel... N the vibration went away? That conclude the issue is not about how tight is those nuts or I tighten them with wrong o diff torque rate.
