Reddit reviews Gorilla Automotive 61631 Acorn Gorilla Guard Locks (12mm x 1.50 Thread Size) - Pack of 4

That's incredibly unfortunate, and the police in this town do little to help, too. I was robbed recently and we had fingerprints, high quality video in which the thief looked straight at the camera, and serial numbers and an exact list of what was stolen, and that was 2 months ago with no results.

Since then I've become anal about my car's security, and to protect against this I got locking lug nuts. Dead simple to use, and it secures your wheels; I highly recommend them.

Shit like that used to happen ALL the time at that place (I was there for a year in 2011), and it just kept escalating. First it was rims and windows, then cars getting stolen, then apartments and people getting robbed. My friends still live there and say it's gotten better since I left after they put up the cameras.

I would highly recommend getting a set of these - Gorilla Guard Wheel Locks. I bought a used vehicle with these on there and no key. 9 different tire shops were unable to get them off until I finally figured out a way without damaging the rim. The keys are extremely unique (no master keys) and the outer ring spins. They are not impossible to get off, but it will definitely take a lot of commotion/noise.

By that much you mean $15?

Perhaps you can get an aftermarket tilt alarm that'll set off when the car is raised.

If you're going to get wheel locks, get gorrillas. https://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Automotive-61631-Acorn-Thread/dp/B000CMJ2QE/ref=pd_sim_263_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=51n13YXLpkL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=07V1C8108J2DEG1YH7EW he'll you can buy 5 packs and use them on all the wheels lol.

went with 2 sets of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CMJ2QE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hoping thieves see 8 of these and move on.

Wheels?

here's a $15 solution...

I've heard good things about wheel locks of this variety with a sleeve to prevent sockets from being hammered on: http://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Automotive-61631-Acorn-Thread/dp/B000CMJ2QE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418833785&sr=8-1&keywords=wheel+locks

Often the bigger issue is that the thieves will just buy the sockets that fit the lock.

Unless you live in (insert your preferred ghetto) you should be fine and they're usually $25 or less on Amazon

These are the wheel locks you should get https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CMJ2QE/?tag=100568-20

They are free spinning (which means the old hammer socket trick will not work on these). Never keep the key in the car unless you're going on a road trip. Just make sure you have AAA for towing incase you get a flat locally, so they can tow it home or tow it to the dealer. Gives you time to get your wheel key.

Gorilla Guard locks have a rotating cuff on the outside that prevents theft via impact wrench. Only way to remove without a key is hammer and chisel the cuffs off and then impact wrench. Not impossible but a 15-20 minute process that will be a helluva deterrent.

I wonder if the free spinning sleeve lug locks are better alternatives?

There are 700 reviews and I can't find any that said their wheels were stolen.
