Locknut for Rims

[TypeRice]

hey if i buy Rims from a shop.. and another person buys the same rims as me.. does that mean we have the same locknut?

i hear dat even thought der are locknuts for rims... dey can still be stolen..
so im finking maybe other ppls haf da same shape/size locknut as you?

y would u have the same lock nuts? got nothing to do with the rims...

and yer, even if u have lock nuts, they can be stolen. lock nuts aren't like your keys, they're just shaped nuts that are shaped differently to make them harder to remove. and since there aint a million types of lock nuts, many ppl will have similar locks as most would buy from a tyre shop or autobarn/supercheap... prob all the same brands anyway.

just like i thing its 1 in 10 000 ppl have the same key (being that standard key most ppl have on their house doors.)

locknuts are locknuts
FYI, ttf giv the same locknuts out. which arent that special neway.
there are different locknut patterns/designs out there
having a combination, say 2 out of 4 (4 stud) as 2 diff lock nuts is pretty secure
