meier motor sports Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 wheel locks dont do squat. all you gotta do is hammer on a socket thats slightly smaller then the keyed lug nut. I used to get wheel locks off cars that had lost the key countless times while i was working as a tech at a dealer. IMHO, better off getting a shock sensor for the car alarm. with the factory shock sensor on its most sensitive setting. it will go off anytime i try to jack up the car. Sorry to hear about your theft. http://www.hondapartsdeals.com/images/2006_civic__Wheel_Locks.jpg these are the best type of lock. a super pain in the ass to get off without the key. at least 20min with air tools to get them off especialy when tight http://www.oakos.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/SplineLug.jpg worst part about these is they get stock in the removal socket. one wheel maybe 5-10min. but other then that they are no problem to remove. http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/mustangtuning_1964_52429988 thoes that take the 17mm allen are just ghey and im sure can come off easy with the right tool. havent had to remove any of these. but all these are better then a standard 19mm lug nut. to the op. sorry to hear about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whobaru Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Ouch! At least they kept the jack and didn't set it on the ground. That was really nice of them! We should take a moment to wish them well for the good dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qikslvr Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I know. I actually typed that in and then deleted it. I didn't want to throw salt on an open wound. Let's kick this pig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight705 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 this is why i'm going to use 4-5 different sets of lock lugnuts. that way it will make it a even more hassle for the thieves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meier motor sports Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 im glad im not your mechanic! the stadard key ones are the hardest to remove. if you can get a full set of thoes no one will touch your wheels. even 2 locking ones on one wheel will just be to much of a pain in the ass for any one to bother with. did they take your old lug nuts or where they laying around?
