Had those on my pre face lift 99 cdx. Pain in the arse they are.

It's a plastic locking nut key to the cover. Which if over tightened brakes the plastic key trying to undo them.
The covers rattle, even if the nut is tight, which means they get over tightened and the key brakes undoing them.
The cover bolts corrode and, I don't know if I mentioned this before but, the plastic key brakes trying to undo them.

I had constant balance issues, which where only rectified once the wheel bolt covers where removed completely, which is just as well, because ..... >:(


Oh, and the corrosion round the valve was bad on mine, flaked right off.

Apart from that...
