Anyone have wheel locks? Recommended brands? Anyone know the size locks/lugs we have? I'm thinking about getting gorillas because all 5 lugs will still look the same and they're not too shabby looking. Also, black lugs or chrome locks for my car?! Thanks in advance fellas!

I just grabbed some slim line tuner style wheel locks off of ebay.. some wheels don't fit the OEM lug nuts, but it looks like yours does...

just be sure you get the 12 x 1.25 thread pattern

Wheel lock don't do ****. I remember once I went to the dealer to get my wheels rotated... but I left my key at home. The dealer was still able to rotate my tires. They had some universal gorilla key. I thought it was bull****, so I had them do it in front of me.

Yea... it worked.

By any chance... where these the tuner style lugs? The ones that the key actually goes into the lug nut. If yes, those were Pointless. Because regular Gorilla locks (key goes around lug), if you lose the key or the key number to get another. It's gonna suck to be you!

No, it was the one where the key goes around the lug.
