Are these really effective? I got wheel locks thrown in with my car, but I'm thinking about going to my local tire shop and getting Gorilla lugs where all the lugs are essentially locks, because they are not shaped like regular lugs, you need the key for all the lugs. Dealer locks they could still take off the other 4 lugs and manage to snap the stud where the lock is, or just to cause you hell if you drove off with just 1 lug holding each wheel... what do you guys think?

 

 

not effective, aren't all Honda/Acura wheel locks the same therefore very easy to obtain a key.

 

Actually, they're all slightly different. My friend and I tried to use our respective keys and they didn't work. I read somewhere that there's a set of 8 different lock designs.

 

It takes a couple extra minutes per lock to remove them. I've had to do it on wheels where the key was lost. I have used the gorilla locks in the past - years ago. Basically, it would take 5 times as long to remove them compared to one lock per wheel. They will deter some theives, but not all. The 'bad guy' could just steal your whole car and have all day to fiddle with the locks, or break the window and find your key. You pretty much have to keep it with the car otherwise your screwed if you get a flat and don't have it. That's the common vulnerability in all wheel locks.
