Wheel Locks

headshokfatty · 03-07-2008, 07:51 PM

So I know this has been discussed before but I couldnt find any new information.

Whats out there for good wheel locks?

Anything that isnt prone to stripping, lug/rim damage, and easy for thieves to just vicegrips off?

I'm fine with something that will just make it harder for the common thief, I know nothing will prevent a pro from getting what he wants.

McGuard still makes the OEM ones, do they still suck?

I saw the McGuard splined drive lugs on subydude.com, 20 of those costs $90 and while they arent "locks" they are at least quality lugs that couldnt be removed with a simple tire iron and would maybe deter that petty thief...

Would the gatorgrip univerisal socket be able to remove those?

Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated!

Yep, just got the standard locks as the only option on my car. Dunno if they suck or not, but should deter a casual thief.
