Likely the first time you go to the car to commute to work in the morning, and discover it only has 3 wheels on the ground, you'll change your mind. Doesn't take a genius to figure out to keep the k

I had a 1963 Ford Falcon Ranchero with 4-lug (yes, that's 4) "mags" with a locking lug nut per wheel. Well I had the special key but over the years one of the locking lugs had gotten "stripped". The

If you take a look at the locking lug on your/any auto it has some color paint sprayed on the outside edge, go to any "JUNK" yard and buy as many as you want, they usually have them by the case, usua

And then you'll change your mind when your out in the woods and the key (that was in the glove box) breaks while trying to remove the flat. Walk to nearest house, hoping that they actually have a pho

Seems most unlikely to me, given that the "key" to the lug nuts I chose is a quite hefty chunk of hardened steel. Weighs several pounds at least, and a file just skitters over the surface. Randall

I'm with you. I've used splined two piece lug nuts on a race car. The removal tool was a good quality item. We also bought an extra one for the track bag so that we would never be surprised not to ha

I apologize in advance, but that's funny right there! after a few trials with locking lug nuts, I decided it was easier to live in the boonies (few people, much less thieves) rather than deal with th

I also make a point of removing the locks after I had trouble with them, but then I now live in a small town where this kind of theft is rare. I think most of the locking nuts/keys would hold up if t

But no serious thief would bother stealing a wheel that can be replaced for $15 at any junk yard ! The tire might have been worth more than that, but not much ... they were less than $60 new and I d
