Do Wheel locks really work?
Do Wheel locks really work?
I have a quick question, I just bought some 6 spoke SE wheels from an org member, and I just put them on my 99 maxima. I really want to know if those Nissan OEM wheel locks are unique, because when I look at them. they all look the same. Because I am scared that one day if I do put them wheel locks on, and then people might be able to use their other Nissan key and open my lock. Is that possible? or does every lock has a unique key?
I wouldn't worry TOO much. They're really only meant to deter casual thieves (particularly since nearly every wheel-lock user, myself included, keeps the key somewhere fairly obvious in his car), and they're up to that task even if the keys aren't unique. Frankly I don't think OEM Nissan rims are particularly prized among thieves anyway (and that's not meant to denegrate them - I have a set, and I think they're very handsome for OEM rims). God knows the wheel locks didn't slow down the professional thieves who took my Integra GS-R years ago (of course, since they also took the engine, transmission, seats, and dashboard, they were probably not easily deterred!).
