I bought a few sets of McGard locks and SplineDrive lugs - I couldn't be happier. Expensive but worth it.

McGard doesn't seem to have metric lugs.

yea, there is no gap (less than 1MM) left to jam on a socket without banging it onto the wheel completly. the hole for the lug is too small and deep for a bigger socket over the spinning lock.

I'm safe. They have to steel teh whole car now....


I can get these wheel locks, let me know. My local shop has them.

Call TNT 413-589-5522 , ask for Bobby. He deals with all the performance stuff. Ask for Gorilla Guard #63631.

first off nothing is theft proof second all you need is a wheel lock removal socket set that is sold from every tool truck in the country yea that stuff will deture them but nothing is 100%
