can anyone tell me if Gorilla Guard II willl protect rims?

I'm kinda not sure why Tire Rack didn't include wheel locks, because it's as if they did the whole Gorilla thing--adapter, 20 lug nuts, 4 extra valve stems, hub centric thingys, but they left out the locks.

I'm not positive but there looks like there are only 3 types of nuts. I think I need acorn 7/16". Are all the threading standard?

I know anyone can take anything if they want it, but do the locks really foil thieves? And heck, if it does, then why not 5 sets of Gorillas if your rims are $350 or more each? All 20 would be locked!

Lug locks cost more to produce since they are unique.

Actually, Gorilla makes a set of 16 or 20 'uniquely' keyed lugnuts. My bother actually bought a set a few years ago. I think they run about $60? I wish we could get a GD going on this... I'd get a set. I may pick up a set later, anyways.

yes. American tires sells a set of 20 locking lug nuts for about 55 dollars.. they have to special order it.. but that is hella cheap consider 4 of the Gorilla lug nuts will cost you 20 bucks already!

Gorilla Lugs

Got Gorilla lugs two weeks ago from Discount Tire for the new Konig's. Paid $35 for the set of 20 lugs plus sales tax, and another $4 for the special socket key. Supposedly $40 per set if you are not buying wheels.
