I'm looking into getting some locking lug nuts, I don't want the regular pep boys / autozone ones with a key but something a bit more advanced..

I've been looking into getting a set of Kyo-Ei Dency electronic lock nuts which are pretty much magnetic and don't have a key hole to pick Link here


What other locking lug nuts are good and really hard to get off for thiefs? (yes I know if a thief wants your wheels no matter what they will take them, but if that happens I want a really good thief to do it, not just a regular dude who steals rims and takes off regular locking lug nuts)

Just don't want $4000 stolen from my car when I could have spend $200-$400 on some really good locking lug nuts

 

Off subject but HOLY CRAP, thats a lot of money to dish out on locking lugs!!!

 

Not really that bad $120 from here for the ones posted above but maybe better ones are more, wouldn't matter though really because it's worth it knowing your car has good security on your wheels and not a lot of people can get them off. I would rather spend $120 or more instead of going cheap knowing it makes my wheels a lot safer. My lugs were $400+ so the locking lugs aren't that bad :p

btw Wheels-
-BBS RGR 17x8.5 +48
-BBS black racing lug nuts
-Falken zien zx-912

 

so are those legitly impossible for thieves to get off? i read on other forums they actually can be taken off but they didnt state how. also, are they close-end or open-end

 

Those look similar in design to RS Watanabe Electron Locking lug nuts.

 

I had those magnetic ones on my 1980 celica back in 1986. Hopefully they've changed by now because one time something happened to that magnet and it was almost impossible to get off! I had to smash them at a body shop if I remember correctly.

Anyone else have a suggestion for good lock nuts? I have the tuner type now but I'm guessing all of the keys are the same?

 

Fixed.

 

The same could be said about any physical object.

 

Preventative measures are necessary for anyone who want to sleep just a little more soundly at night.

 

The more preventative measures you put in place the less likely you are to have a theft happen, thieves are lazy and need to work fast, so it's all about redundancy.

I'd get a good set of lug nuts, the Kyo-Ei Dency for example, and an alarm with a tilt sensor.

 

Scratch that... just received the Watanabe and they are one piece, no floating seat
