my stupid brother just came home with my car and @#$% my LF RIM is scrated up around the bolts and RF wheel is missing wheel lock :fustrated :mad: ****!!!!! someone is trying to steal my rims

ASSHOLES!!!!!..... go buy ur own!:fustrated

**** I'm never letting my brother take my car out! :fustrated
last time he had my front windshield smashed up &!*$&#

Anyways I need a new set of WHEEL LOCKS
and everywhere is closed.....
I need it quick THANKS!

anyone know where I can buy a set of KYOKUGEN lug nuts here in toronto?

Bro in my opinion the best thing to do is go and get your self 4 sets of wheel locks, and put 4 different locks on each rims, that way there is no way in hell ne of these asshles is gonna spend time taking them off, i did that on my civic and when it was stolen the only things on the car were my rims everything else was stripped, i;'m sure that pissed them off, but they still could get them off, these days getting the keys for the lock nuts is not hard but if they have to get 4 of them then thats no fun at all.

i agree with gq....go with the 4 different sets..its a lil more expensive..but hey its worth it for a set of rims rite??

Civic_GQ: Hahahahah, that is CLASSIC man! I would LOVE to have seen their faces when they discovered THAT lil bit of information...

Since I'm putting new rims and tires on my car, I think I will follow your advice hahahahahahahaha

yup yup, i bet you nething it would have definitely beena KODAK moment if it was caught on camera

Thanks for the advise ... already had that idea in mind :thumbup:

It's a good idea but i'v heard the the locks don;t hold as tight as the reg nuts and don;t forget about how much your SHOP if gonna hate you if you have to take off your RIMS. ****

My brother's friend is a mechanic, and I could not believe how easy it can be to take the wheel locks off when you know how). :eek: I won't post it here just in case some theive is reading this. I'll be there Wed to tell you how he does it. (a lot of customers seem to lose thier wheel locks and he has to take them off when he does the tire repairs all the time) And different locks on all the wheels don't really slow him down. Sorry I had to break someones bubble. :( He did say that wheel locks are better than no locks at all! He told me to get the new tuner style "spline drive" locks that Mc Guard has $$$ ? I think he said $75 - $100. Crappy tire can get them. They look nice (different coloured caps) and are hard to remove on a rim that has narrow holes for the nuts. http://www.mcgard.com Enjoy:thumbup: this one goes right to the locks I,m talking about... http://www.mcgard.com/automotive/new_prod.asp

i believe they are 109 for jsut 16 lugs.... or 119 for the ones with 4 locks...at c.t.

Alright, my response had NOTHING to do with the actual sale or purchase of lock nuts so I copied the thread over into the Exterior Forum and left a copy of it here.

For those that are interested in selling, offering advice on where to purchase or whatever, you can post here.

For those that want to debate this new wheel lock cracking technique, head over to the Exterior/Lighting Forum

thanks for the info guys...

hey pulove ... those lugs+lock are not bad... I always thought the McGard stuff are crap.... but I guess I was wrong
but a question though.... it looks like the keys are all the same?... then that means if someone had that same lock then they can unlock it :confused:

They are not all the same..... sorry to post here..

i asked someone at performance improvments and what he said was that they make a certain batch with the same key pattern..say like 10000 sets...but they only send a certain number of those sets to any one location..so like 20 to toronto...2 to montreal...20 to chicago...blah blah...so the chances of you BUYING two identical sets is low....but for a theif they prob have several keys...

hm... I'm actually thinking about getting the Mcgard bolts + lock
anyone know where I can get it her ein toronto? I don't think CT have those nice ones.....

canadian tire has the new spindle locks and lugs...if thas what u were asking about

isnt it 50 bux to get wheel locks at CT?

not the new spindle ones...the regular wheel locks by mcgaurd are lke 30 to 50 buks

i think i need a new set too. my mcgard key is getting worn down!

are the new spindle ones worth the extra $$$?
