Stock Wheel Lock
I had to take off my wheels this weekend to paint my calipers, and on the last wheel my Wheel Lock got stripped and I couldn't get the wheel off. Does anyone know where I can get one? Thanks

Got the key, along with a bill for another dollar to cover a price increase.
That's when I realized that the cars come with all regular lug nuts, and the locks are added by the dealer. Next time I'm there I'm going to ask for the four lug nuts they took off. Betcha they've got a bucket full somewhere.

They are utterly useless.

If you REALLY want to steal a set of rims, the locks will NOT stop you. With a hammer, you can get a t-bar onto it just like a regular lug. Can do it almost as fast as using the key.

if one wants to steal ur ****, yes it still could be done no matter what.
Locks/Protections are here to slow down the process, even by 1 minute its still better than nothing.
