What guys do you recommend/use for your aftermarket wheels? I looked at the gorilla locks, never heard of them before. Are they the best ones to get and is it hard to take them off without the designed key?

Damn, I've got those too. So much for being unique and theft-deterrent. I knew I wasn't the only one in the country with that lug key, but I'm starting to get the idea that its pretty universal.

I had the ones posted above on the Q. They're a royal PITA. NOT WORTH the hassle. I disliked them so much I actually BOUGHT 20 regular lugs to replace them. Having to use an adapter to do anything is annoying. If you don't do any of your own work on your car it might not be as much of an annoyance, but I got sick of them fast.

You guys can practically pick up a set of those lugs and keys at your local auto parts stores whether its Kragens, Napa, or Autozone.

They even sell the keys separately.

If you guys really want something that is a theft deterrent on your wheels, $$$$$. If you're buying HRE's, Volks, Works or something of the like...then spend the extra $100 or so for lugs, but Rota, Konig or some other cheap crap...those autozone gorilla knock offs will do.

Cool bro, I bought some Gorilla locks off Amazon last week. That's what I'm settled for.
