Those are really cool looking locks. These seem they would deter thieves better than other wheel locks. I mean, most locks you can use a 19mm (or 3/4") socket and remove them.

i dont see what winter has to do with wheel locks but what ever im ordering them when i order my sport bronze c8s and we got a huge motion sensor flood light that wakes me up everytime it goes off and cam recording at night so if the guys who stole my slips are reading this if you come back your either gonna get the sh*t kicked outta you or your gonna get recorded caught and taken to jail and then get the sh*t kicked outta you
anyway im stil curious about what locks you guys are using?

Winter means road salt which means RUST that's why.

Sounds like your little system wasn't exactly effective.

Annnyway. Even perfectly round locks are only a deterrent and can be removed without a whole lot of hassle. So I don't know that I'd go with something that's super expensive. If the price is right, grab those.

Honestly its a cool design and all that but i wouldnt trust those locks. If teeth start to strip on them your pretty much SOL getting your rims off in a issue of a blow out or flat. If you get them just be weary of those and before any trips or going out make sure you loosen and tighten the locks to insure that those are still working properly.

you could always go crazy and buy more than one set of locks, since they come in packs of eight...

just have to carry more than one key around with you...but so would a potential thief.

theives don't carry keys around with them. lol.

And those teeth won't strip, that's the point of the lip around them, it ensures good teeth contact. If you dick those up, you have no one to blame but yourself.
