**BEST Lug Nuts with Lock***
 
Hey Guys im hoping you can help me out with this. Im getting new Enkei Kojin Wheels early March when they come out and i need some lugs on there. i live in NY and those fucks always love to steel wheels when they are easy to get off. I wanted Red Lugs to go with my Matte Black wheels but i could compromise and go with a chrome or black lug that is a Wheel LOCK. ive been looking at the Guerrilla Wheel Locks and they seem to be pretty wild looking and difficult to get off. Our Cars need a 12x1.25 sized lug im pretty sure so that's what i will be asking for and also im asking for the Best wheel lock to throw on these bad boys because i dont want anyone having easy access to getting them off. If you can find me some Red Ones that would be GREAT !

Thanks Fellas

Guerrilla's would be fine as a deterrent, but thiefs these days are running around with air hammers and split the nuts. If they want it, theyll get it. Either that or the car.

I know it isn't EXACTLY your point but I never got the mentality that says, "Well if they want it bad enough they'll get it anyway so, meh."

For every guy that has the means and motive to go the extra mile to get past wheel locks (or any other theft deterrant/security measure for anything really) there could be 20 that would have snatched em if they could whip out a folding tire iron and rip em off but didn't and kept walking because of locks.

I understand where you're coming from. Im not saying they wont do their job - itll take hours for whomever to get those things off without the correct tool. Ive heard of high profile robberies in the car scene in NY and its an orchestrated smash and grab. I would hesitate to leave the car unattended for any length of time with a set of wheels that cost 10-20% of what the car is worth.

McGard spline drive w/ lock.
@Mach V Dan stocks them in a package deal. 16 spline drive and 4 locks; only place I've seen that. The other way is to buy 4 locks and 20 lucks which seemed stupid and more expensive.

$18 bucks and it wouldn't take much longer then ordinary lug nuts. I've got a similar set here at the house.

I've got the Guerrillas on mine mostly as a deterrent as well. I figure they'll stop someone who doesn't have much time to kill. They are a little bulky though and stick out further than the standard nuts.

what do you guys think about the Muteki Ones on here, They are Lug Nuts and Also in RED !

ScionFR-S 02-18-2013 11:14 PM
