Lately I have been seeing alot of cars sitting on bricks. Many Infiniti coupes are getting hit. It must be the economy, thieves are working overtime. Anyways, those with aftermarket wheels, what wheel locks do you use and recommmend?

inrfiniti guys get hit because their dealers don't order the cars with wheel locks.

many buyers don't bother to buy them either.

it's hard to find a lexus that doesn't come with wheel locks.

then again, lexus stock wheels are generally much uglier than infiniti wheels.

true, when i bought my GS, wheels locks were standard. and i like my oem 18" wheels, i don't think they are ugly.

on my stock wheels, factory locks, which i don't care much about

on my ssr, i use mcgards, good quality and i like their design (won't damage wheels). security, it probably just slow down the thieves a little bit...

dunnojack

aren't the factory locks made by mcgard?
i thought i had a card that says so

What do you guys think of these.

"The ultra thick silver surround is sturdier than similar locks and fits with minimal space between your wheel and the lock. This makes the lock virtually impossible to grab with pliers or any similar tool. The surround also rotates to make pulling it off an even more unlikely event."

I wish I had friends in Germany... They dont sell them here in the US

On my factory wheel I have factory locks. After reading this I am gonna go get some nicer wheel locks for my BBS.

They are a "standard package option" you get charged $70-$80 for them on your sticker not like they are tossed on there for free.

It is pretty hard to find a good lock that will prevent a thief from taking the wheels. the ones that have like a star shape or curvy lock shape can be undone with simply a flat head screw driver and a hammer. you just put the flat head screw driver on one of the flat grooves of the key lock and hammer it til it loosens. Other weird hexagon shapes can be undone with other keys. there are also some locks that you can just simply hammer one a key that slides over but tight enough and wrench it out. the long lug nut keys can be undone with a vice grip.
