Wheel Lock Question
Sup guys,
I was just wonderin', what wheel lock brand would u recommend? I heard that there is a certain brand or brands where the pattern is real easy to unlock or somethin. Any replies about this would greatly be appreciated!

I just got a set of Gorilla!....they are fvcking sick....every single lug is a lock nut! shallow grooves make it impossible to get another tool on them. Not to mention triple plated chrome they WILL NOT RUST!
Also, the key is unique to your set of lugs, so you have to get it registered!

Rep Power: 0 Have any of you actually seen a lug nut remover?
The purpose of it would be to remove a lug nut that snapped, or a lug nut where the key was lost.
A tool used by shops, and alot more by thieves that basically tighten/close as you turn it, that wraps/holds onto the ***outside*** of the lug nut... I can't remember where I saw it in action (not during an actual theft), but that thing is "nuts"....
Sorry to say, having 1 set of good lug nuts (per 4 per wheel) versus 4 separate lug nuts (that require different keys) per wheel doesn't curb theft of your wheels.... It will stop the amatuers, but if you have real sweet rims, insure it, and make sure you have a tilt alarm....
People think guys crazy glue a wrench onto the lug nut to steal rims.. Nope, it's the pro tools...
To stay on topic, I have McGards, whatever Acura gave as part of the car...
