They come standard when you buy the car. Notice the wheel lock on each rim? McGard brand.

I've got some monkey wrench brand when I'm not sporting the crystal lugs. They're cool because you can't tell its even a lock nut! Looks just like the other lugs, the key is around the edges instead of being in the top.

Actually NSXNEXT, you are wrong...they don't come standard... It was an option... I got them for free though from the dealer... They better not make me pay $35 for a set of wheel locks when I'm buying a $30,000 car!

Wouldn't smart thievs pay the $60 to get the "key" to your wheel locks. I wondered what good it would do because anyone who was targeting TL rims would have the right tool to get them off.. Its not like wheel locks are keyed different for each TL..

The best way to prevent theft is to park in a locked/alarmed garage! If you don't have one park in a well lit area. Or move to a neighborhood with nosey neighbors, Or don't go to bad neighborhoods trying to pick up chicken heads, or buy four car boots, or .........
