i need to get a set of new lugnuts or wheel locks.
here is a pic of my rims
the wheel locks that are in the picture are the gorilla ones. they sucked. they ended up rounding out.
after those I bought a set from pep boys. but the key kept breaking.
so does anyone know of any good brands that would hold up?
what about these mcguard ones all the way on the left? but i dont think the key would work with my rims

Anybody know of locks that are good for wheels that require a thin wall socket? Will any of the ones posted work? I think Mcgards came with the wheels but they didnt fit in the hole.

Yeah I had some of those for my 18’s. They’re good but you gotta be careful because I’ve heard of a lot of people breaking the socket for them, then you’re screwed.

ive got rays engineering lug nuts. they cost me a good $100+ but are made out of some crazy material so that 20 lug nuts weigh as much as one chrome lug nut but are just as strong.

I never really understood wheel locks…
1. 99.99999% of people leave the wheel lock key in the glove box or center console or in the trunk with the spare…If your cars in a place where they can take off all 4 wheels they can easily break window.
2. I have used atleast 3 diffrent wheel lock removal tools…and all work just as well as the wheel lock key…
I think its a false sense of security.

its not so much the locks…its the “tuner lugs” required for those wheels and others…regular lugs dont fit the hole

anything can be stolen by a professional theif if they want it. i think its more so to stop the crackheads who are stealing shit for rocks. and anyone stupid enough to leave the wheel lock key in the car deserves to be robbed.
