View Full Version : What is the BEST wheel lock nuts? Not 2nd best, What is the BEST?
As title says, what is the best wheel lock nut?
I know pros can still steal your wheels no matter what nuts you use, but i just want to make it harder for them and pain in the ass.
I want the know the specific brand and model and possibly link for it. Not worried about price.

They're all pretty much the same, just check the sizing for clearance on your wheels

Sometimes a deterrent can be the deciding factor on if they go ahead and commit the act or not.
Of course they will take them in many cases but reducing the chances isnt a bad step is it

If you piss em off they'll kick in your panels, smash your windows, pee in your car etc. Let em have the wheels so they **** off lol
Do a combo, i use 2 or more sets per car. Bull locks, and another one ;)

srsly, no matter how expansive the lock nuts are, it wont stop the determined thieves.
Short nuts are better than those long ones, less to grip to and harder to bash a socket on.

You can have as much as lock nuts with different combo's if you like, the theif will still use 'one' tool to open it up.
Just park your car in a safe area other than leaving it outside or something. Too many low life people around cant do much
+1 get a diff lock nut for every stud..
hopefully not thieve is bothered...

^2nd that.
all they gotta do is just "drill" your lock nuts and it'll break into bits, doesn't matter if u have different combo's

Which is why you get something high quality so it takes them much longer to drill...
