I'm just wondering, how many of you guys have wheel locks on your cars? Is it worth it?

 

Have one and I think it's worth it... Just to be safe!!!!

 

+1. Go with McGard or Rad wheel locks

 

$30 locks VS replacing a stolen set of rims and tires!!!!

 

agreed

 

I have seen the guys at tire shop taking sockets and tapping them securely onto wheel locks so many times because the customer lost/misplaced the keys. After that I stopped bothering with them. It makes emergency roadside maintenance a nightmare, if you lose the key you are screwed, and basically - if a thief wants your rims, they will get them.

 

Get McGuard, the euro edition. Its like $60. Definitely worth it. The european one has a ring outside the lug which prevents anything from gripping it.

 

thanks for the input guys! I'll look into getting these mcgard wheel locks!

 

Got them on all of our cars...for $40, it's more than worth it. I recommend the RAD Wheel Locks if you need a set, that's what we carry and use for our cars.

 

Even if you have the ones with the revolving ring it doesn't stop the the thieves.

A local tyre shop told me all you have to do is tighten the other four bolts by a small amount and the locking one comes loose enough to be easily removed.

True they are probably more of a deterrent but apparantly not fail safe.
