Wheel Locks ( Recommendations )

Right now I'm rolling around w 4 lugs on each wheel but I'm not worried about losing my since they are the factory 5 spoke wheels.

But In case I decide to upgrade, does anybody recommend any wheel locks?

i've had the mcgard lock shear on me and i've torqued everything to spec

i would only go with gorillas for oem wheels. some of the gorilla systems give you a lock for each lug. i'd recommend the spline locks

revisiting...

Does anybody recommend a better set of lock nuts besides Gorilla and the OEM set? A set that is harder to remove?

There's always this option:

Expensive but the best.
I think they're overkill for stock wheels, though.

You have to contact for a price quote.

Usually around 400$, which is why I mentioned it probably isn't worth it for stock wheels.
They replace your wheels if they are ever stolen.

if you are ok with running adapters on your stock wheels, a few of us run project mu super lock 7 lug nuts. we of course use them on aftermarket wheels.

all lugs are locks and 7 sided so you need a special key to fit over them. they are also steel and super durable. the only downside is the caps on them are teal so you either have to be ok with that color scheme (i painted my brembos teal to match) or paint the caps something else

i used rustoleum satin lagoon, it's $3 a can at home depot haha. i previously had white g2 caliper paint on so that gave me a very good high heat base before this was put on. then i put on the brembo decal and then sprayed clear after

Yesssss. Was looking for these guys a few months back when someone on another thread asked what the best locks possible would be. My mind went to these but couldnt find them.

If I remember correctly they will even insure your wheels while using their locks. (If you have one of their installers install them of course)
