This past weekend...my 16's Kosei K1 almost got stolen...i have 3 regular Black lug nut that came with the wheels from TIRE RACK and one wheel lock "Mcgard" on each wheel.

I noticed yesterday that all the regular lug nuts had been tampered with...and were all loose except the Mcgard wheel lock. I was on my way to school on monday when i noticed this happened. These kids probably live in my neighborhood because i remember seeing a green mustang pulling next to my parked car Friday night when its parked on the curb in front of my apartment.

PLEASE....help me find 3 more sets of wheels locks.
i am going to have 4 different set for each rim. I am so sick of thieves and paranoid at the same time.
please...i need some suggestions.

 

Here get one of each:
Honda Oem

Gorilla Wheel Lock

Mr. Lugnut Lock


But if they want your wheel real bad, there isn't a lugnut lock that will stop them. You might want to look into this too:

The Alpha wheel lock

Come to think about it that won't keep your wheel from being stolen either but at least it will keep your car from being gone.

Get Kyokugen wheel lock's they are 7 sided and ultra light weight, plus they dont look like wheel locks

 

hey lost GSR
where can i get those mr. lugnut locks...those look arite.
are gorilla locks any good.
what i want is something rare and that not many ppl have....

 

Alpha Lock? When did this come available?

Dam...if you can put one of those on every wheel...

 

Gorilla and Kyoguken lugs can be defeated by those who have the heptagon adapter. VOLK also have a set of heptagon locknuts, except it features a slot.

 

gorilla has a set with a special key. the one i had was 5 sided with some odd looking side. it was pretty good, cept they rust if the outer layer is chipped off..

OEM is maybe by McGard and EVERYONE has the key to the OEM lock....

Fangtl.....so u're saying the volk locknut are better in terms of harder to steal than Gorilla and Kynguken??

 

OK, so what is the BEST wheel lock to get? I was told Volk's are next to impossible to get off since there are so many combinations they make or something like that. Where can we all get THE BEST?

 

ttt, i'd also like to know

 

The "key" for the Kyoguken lugnuts are crap! It is made from cast metal where the tolerances on the key to nut fitting is VERY loose. And due to the lack of a tight between the key and lugnut, the clearance on the key will grow worse over time. Please do not buy this crap from Kyoguken.

And one more thing, I speak from experience.

MCGuard, OEM & Gorilla. That should be enough to at least frustrate them and scare em off.
Man your alarm is mad sensitive, how did it not go off? Punks...wheaton is a pain in the ***.

Did you put the rubber piece on the hood? How did it work out?

Edit: Oh it was your APT? In Bmore?

 

I got my friends factory wheel locks, but they were different than the wheel locks the honda dealer here sells. they have something that screws down on them first, then you insert the key. It's kinda nice, looks like shet though. Dunno what kind of wheel locks the dealers are selling everywhere else, I know the ones I got here can be used with a big allen wrench...

 

but do you really want to carry 4 different wheel lock keys around with you?....if you lose one and have to change a tire...that'll suck..lol.
