The guy at my tire shop recommended these. He said that he removes locks all the time, and most locks can be removed in seconds with a special tool. These locks are much harder to remove, and they take about 15 minutes each because the outer ring has to be chipped off with a chisel.
They lose a star because I don’t think there are very many unique key patterns. I wanted 5 unique sets (one for each lug), and in my first order there were a couple sets that matched. I had to order 2 extra sets to get 5 unique.
Before I ordered them, I was worried that they wouldn’t fit into the lug bore because of the outer ring. They did fit, barely. The OD of the outer ring is exactly 1 inch.

These wheel locks are perfect for my ride. I have an Infiniti G35 and i have some pretty expensive wheels. For the price and for the quality, these are just perfect. They seem pretty tough to break thru so i really recomment these locks.

Wheel locks are pretty common where I live. The common ones are awkward, since they require torking by hand, and they are also not so effective. My daughter’s softball coach had expensive wheels stolen, and so did people up and down his block that day. They all had wheel locks from a competitor.
This is my second set from Gorilla. My first was nice, especially considering that it replaced all my lug nuts. And they looked like standard high quality chrome lug nuts. It was also good, considering I had a standard lug nut stolen, and then the replacement was stolen too.
Unlike my old set, this one has an outer sleeve, so the lug wrench adapter goes into a narrow opening. Although my old set seemed pretty secure, this one seems as tamper proof as you can expect, since the sleeves spin. The only down side is that I could not find it in a full set, and things would look nicer if all my lug nuts matched. Buying several sets is not an option, since they would all be keyed differently.
I bought them from Amazon, but they are not available as of this writing. If they don’t come back, I’d suggest buying them wherever you can find them, or doing another Amazon search in case another Amazon partner offers them under a different listing.
