What kind of wheel locks should I get?

Any suggestions? OEMs? Does that fact that anyone who buys these will have a key to your wheel locks bother you? And, also include where to get them.

Re: What kind of wheel locks should I get?

Damned wheellocks...my lock key of my stock lock nuts stripped out on me. When i took my car in to rotate the tires, the mechanic found it stripped. What surprised me was that he was easily removed it w/o the key. he just jammed a slightly smaller socket onto the wheel lock and unscrewd it off. about 5 minutes. I decided that if someone really wants my wheels, they're going to get them off my car regardless of having wheel locks. Plus, i'm more likely to have a flat tire than have my wheels stolen so i didn't buy a new set of wheel locks since then - not worth the potential aggravation in my opinion.

I'd say avoid stock wheel locks. If you can find high quality aftermarkets, use them.
