How did you get your insuracne company to cover your wheels? Who do you have? I want that....

I worked for a tire and rim shop when I was in college and my job was to help repo rims. (Damn those 22's they are HEAVY)

None the less, locks were easy to break off. I think we did more damage to the car just breaking the locks off. Impact drill and oversized lug nut remover.

What did slow us down, car alarms with tilt or rim protectors. We knew the second we set that alarm off some guy was coming out quick.

For the extra 30 bucks, they will keep the kids away. Or they will just destroy everything trying to break them off.

Guess what? At about 4am i got up to take a **** and 2 punk kids were struggling to get my wheels off bc i had locks on it. I had my friend call the cops while i went outside with my pistol and held them at gun poib t til the cops arrived. Like everyone else said if they want ur wheels bad enough they will get it locks or not. But the locks will slow them down a lot.

I would've fired a few warning rounds to scare the ****** out of them punks. Excuse my french, but i hate thieves!

I have two sets of locking lug nuts on each wheel, park in the garage, can't get a scissor jack cause I'm too low, and park another car behind my car at night. Think I worry a bit? Spend the few extra bucks bro!

Locking Lugs will not stop a determined thief. Maybe the quick hit and run type, yes. But any thief who knows his stuff and has a socket set and a hammer can have a wheel off quickly.
