So my wheels got jacked in April and now I have A-Specs on and I am paranoid. I have 2 wheels locks on the wheels, 1 is the Acura lock, and the other one is a Gorilla Guard Lock with the spinning sleeve. After the theft, my TL sleeps in the garage, but last weekend I came home at 2:30am and there are five cars at the house, so I was sitting out there moving cars at 2:30 in the a.m. so I could put my TL in the garage.

I don't feel that my wheels are safe with just 2 locks and I want to be able to leave the car outside once in a while. So what would be other recommendations as far as locks, I want every single one to be a different lock and I need 3 more.

 

I'd do the same shit if my wheels got jacked.

 

Where'd you buy the gorilla guard locks from?

 

oem locks are garbage, anything that has an "imprint" is not reliable, it can break and ur key/lock are ruined. gorilla locks are the best IMO

 

The rule of thumb is that "If they really want em, they are GOING to take em" They can drill out just about any lock you put on there.

I hear you on the paranoia, I never feel right parking my car with those eye-catching WORKs. My car is a daily driver 7 days/800 miles a week in the NYC area. I had the same dilemma of how to secure em. I thought of doing different types of lugs etc. Problem is many of them rust etc. I bought a set of FIVE different McGuard locks so basically every lug is a lock. A little crazy and perhaps ultimately defeatable but I do feel a bit better about it. It would take a LOT of work to destroy 20 locks! And within that time I would be able to bring that barrel up to their temple.

 

Amazon, they are about $16

 

what size lugs for acura?

 

12x1.5

 

looks are going to slow them down by 5 minutes... that's it...

 

Mcgard are pretty good and not expensive.

 

The oem locks i believe you can buy the key at the dealership.. for the type s models, there are only two keys and can both be bought at the dealership...

 

Thanks a bunch. Alright so far i have, or will have once the mcgard's arrive

1. Stock Acura
2. Gorilla Guard
3. McGard
4. -
5. -

Any other recommendations for 4 & 5

 

stock acura is mcgard btw

 

I am going to be purchasing wheel locks. I loke the gorilla locks but what is the difference between short shank and the standard locks?

 

bump for answers

 

You need the multi-pupose Trunk Monkey -

They've got the multi-purpose one but I think they need a dedicated wheel-jacker version.
