Default What wheels locks do you use?

Assuming you do..

In the NE, it's pretty common for thieves to put your vehicle up on cinder blocks and make off with your wheels. And our spares are obviously vulnerable.

I have a set of what I think are McGuards. I used them on my 2008 Sahara. I just took delivery of a set of BlackRock 909s and test fit them today. No problem with the fitment of the 15x10's which is good news, but while the wheel locks fit under the 909s center cap, the socket key that is used on the wheel bolt doesn't fit inside the bore of the bolt hole. Misses by under a mm. So, I need a new set of wheel locks with a thin wall key that will fit inside the hole. The OD of the socket key is about 28.5mm, so I need a socket key that is smaller than that.. or some other configuration.

Suggestions?

I use the Gorilla wheel lock set from Quadratec. They come in a set of 5 for only $19.99. Can't be beat imho.

I thought about it, but......here's why I don't, it's a waste of money. a friend of mine lost his wheel key, so we found a shop in south central Phoenix that, well let's just say they "specialize" in quick wheel removal techniques. If you saw how little effort it takes to break lug nuts off an axle/hub you would probably start sleeping under your jeep at night to guard it. I run one to keep the amateur confused. They won't stop the boys who do it for a living. If someone wants your wheels, well they are going to take them. Life is unfortunately filled with ass clowns who have no respect, morals or ethics.
