Where to buy wheel locks?

Where can I get some wheel locks?? I called a bunch of Kragens and they are all out of the 12x1.25 size locks (some of them didn't even have any lugs in that size!!)

Why is this so difficult!!

Should I be getting the McGard 25254 locks? They are 12x1.25 and 13/16" drive.. They are kind of long, but they look like my lugs do (also kind of long). This is for aftermarket ("tuner") wheels.

I could order online, but, well shipping for a $15 pack is pretty outrageous, plus I want them NOW..

Thanks in advance!

PS. If you know of good places to get these from in the Bay Area, that is excellent! Please PM or Email me!!

Wheel Locks

Got my Gorilla lugs/locks from local Discount Tire. They fit my Konig's, which are the small tuner type.

Try calling around to any tire store. I just went to the local Discount Tire Center or Les Schwab around here in WA and they had em. They also didn't charge anything extra to put em on.

maxcosity: Stock alloy wheels do get stolen. Someone <1 mile from got his 2K Max's stock alloy wheels stolen. His car was up on blocks. I got really worried and got wheel locks the next day.
