Best wheel locks?
I want to buy the best wheel lock set for my Jeep Wrangler I'd really like for all lugs to be locks even my spare I don't want to loose my new wheels or tires! Any advice would be appreciated.
As I recall if you do a search on wheel locks on the forum quite a bit was said about which are the best. I use Gorilla and they seem fine to me. Comes in a set of 4 with a form to mail to Gorrila to get a 5th matching one for the spare.

^I bought the shiny chrome ones above, but I believe there's a black set as well (can't find on Amazon right now) which most would probably prefer.

Buy the ones that fit inside your lug holes. I bought the eBay ones that look just like the gorilla ones. Surprise, surprise- my key takes off the gorilla lugs. They're universal, anyone can steal your wheels. I had a set from the local auto parts store that was a little more 'secure' but none of these will slow down someone who knows what they want and how to get them.
If you're honestly concerned about theft then put 5 different locks on each wheel. You'll seriously slow someone down until they get pissed and just slit the tire.

Make sure that the tumbler has some kind of dust cover to keep it closed to the elements. Have seen many locks that spend a bunch of time in areas like that, or under the bed of a pickup, that get packed solid with dirt, mud, grime, etc. and then you have a bigger issue when you actually need to access it. I know my rear spare and license plate get covered with lots of trail dust and grime on a regular basis. Just something to think about.

That, and the fact my mall rated rig lives in a garage and is primarily a commuter.
