first question is:
whats the point of getting wheel locks..??
- do you guys think people are going to steel you wheels or something.??(no offense)
- if your comments are good i might get a wheel lock from wwww.ahmotor.com , but do you guys think i could put it on tight enough without any power machine..??or should i go to an autoshop and tell them to??

Yes, you can put it on with the supplied wrench (came with your car). If you take it to a shop, they shouldn't charge you more than $10. If they do, tell them to use the air wrench and screw it up their (you know what)

You'd be really surprised how many parts are stolen off our cars! We are prime targets! Folks here have reported anything from emblems, HID's, and wheels stolen...

Imagine how many accord or previous-gen CL drivers would LOVE to have our rims? (no pun intended, just an example

Get the locks, FAST!

How? you meant how long? I would say around 2 min max. per wheel. If I can remove it in less than 2 min than a pro can do it in much less. If a pro (should I say pros cuz I know there are always more than one) spots your rims, pop the trunk, take out the quick jack, one takes out the lug while the other lift your car up, remove the wheel, set your car on a brick. Move on to another wheel.
And no, I'm not one of them. It's just I witnessed the action. After the incident, I put 2 sets of lock on my old Prelude

Wise move.
Yes (again), you can do it on your own, just tighten the lock hard.
No, they will not just fall off. speaking from 200+ tries.
and Yes, each key has a different pattern. if not, what's the point?

me either, sorry

you are not your fukking signature.

 

Man, were you born yesterday?
Just put the damn locks on!
Look at it this way, if you are really lucky, a thief MAY pass your car up and move to one without locks. If you don't have them, that might be you.

Dude, do you live in a f@#king bubble??!!!

 

Dude!! This cheap and easy to install. You'll kick yourself for not having them on when you see your car on blocks.

 

My friend has a 00 Civic and went to her car last week to find it up on milk crates. They stole her stock alloys and tires. Shoulda got the locks

Let's say someone stole them, and only use them for winter tires.
