get mcgards they are really nice and they come as a dealer option for honda and other cars (i think)...i wouldnt consider the seven sided lugs like kyokugen and volk to be locks, but more like "theft deterrence" cuz anyone can take them off as long as they had a set. i heard gorillas arent that great (from the guy at wheels warehouse). the mcgard spline drives and locks are great but a bit pricey...(about 70 bucks). my opinion...get the mcgards

I have gorilla's, mcguards and kryokugens on my car....yes 3 different locks for all these punk *** thieves. They all work great but you have to be careful with the kryo's, the key strips easy. Avoid using air guns on the kryo's.

you can't use air tools on kyokugens!! they're magnesium!! those things will round off in a second! use a breaker bar.

I use dog poo. I actually have four different styles on each lug. Nobody caries latex gloves around when stealing rims!

Why bother. Best to get wheels that no one wants.

I don't take my car out unless it's to autox so I have no problem.

I know wheel locks arent gonna stop ******* thieves...but itll at least slow them down..and during that time that they lost, you never know...might catch them, might not..but its better than not catching them at all...
