Where can I buy Gorilla Wheel Locks or McGard SplineDrive Kits online?

I think McGard is better, right, because they are guaranteed not to rust, etc?

Thanks,

Didn't you already get them last time? You can order them from Summit Racing.

Do you know exactly what you need for aftermarket wheel locks? I'm looking on summit racing, but not sure what I need.

If you want McGard I think their site is www.mcgard.com and look for the part number you want then go to Summit Racing and enter the part number. If you have "Tuner" wheels then I think McGard is the only one that offers quality tuner lugs and locks.

Sorry I don't remember anymore what it was but if you call them up they will give you the right part numbers, that's what I did. Also I think it's only available as an installation kit with lugs, locks and valve stems.

Gorillas

I've never tried McGaurd but I've had a set of Gorillas for a couple of years, and they're already starting to rust. I'm not sure if its really from the elements or rough handling, but I keep my car in a garage most of the time. Also, I think the Gorilla lock bolt is too easy to rig for someone who really wants to steal your rims since its made up of just unevenly spaced slots on the side as opposed to an actual key that fits through the center (like the flower patterned ones that come with 16" SE rims), which is why I use both locks when I have my 18"s on. And yes, the set of Gorillas I got came in a box with the locks and valve stems.

Oh ok. They had a machine go down last year and didn't get it back up for a while which resulted in massive backorders that took months to catch up.
