Wheel locks

Looking at options for securing factory wheels on 2013 Si, what's the hot setup? It's a 2nd (sunny weather) car that's stored in a heated private garage, but I live and function in close proximity to the hood. Are locking lugs the only option these days?

They only seem to steal dubs and bigger in my hood.

Unless they are double deuces your good!

Wheel locks are still able to be removed but it will slow them down. Security system with tilt sensor would also slow the process down. I have Mcguard Wheel Locks

Re: Wheel locks

Dealer accessory locks are Mcgard. http://www.mcgard.com/


Honda # 08W42-SNA-100, MSRP $55 USD. Probably cheaper online.

Remember and note: Hondas wheels and lug nuts are not common to hardly any other cars. The seats on the nuts are not a straight bevel/taper/cone shape like most others, Honda uses round or ball shaped seat.
Use of the wrong type can cause damage to the wheels and lugs.

Re: Wheel locks

Thanks for the help guys. I wasn't sure if there was anything better around than lug locks. My dealer is right down the road, maybe I'll hit them up and see what they have. When I bought the car they gave me a card for $300 in accessories, might as well let them pay for them. Thanks again for the replies.
