Wheel locks suck! I work at discount tire and someone can come in and buy a wheel lock kit all day long that has the key. So if they really want them they can just buy the lock. We also break locks off all day which leads me to believe its not that hard for someone else to do it. Ive come to believe that a theif is a theif, and if u you not there to stopem, aint much u can do.

No, auto-store loks are not safe. Every1 knows that. High end locks will have diff keys... like Gorilla Locks. This guy did NOT have locks (unless he said some default Wal-Mart-Pep Boys-Every1-Got-A-Key-Like-Me set), b/c some1 would have DEF heard them outside if they had to be "convinced" to come off, trust me.

Well buddy the only lock we sell is gorilla lock, either that or you get spline tuner lugs which require a certain key which isnt hard to get either. BTW the gorilla locks dont have endless patterns. If you know which one you need, u can easily get the key.

I bondo my wheels to the rotors. So you have to take the calipers off first to take the wheels off. So if they try to steal my wheels, they would not know why the are not coming off.

Not those. They are the same manufacturer but they are the industry standard locks. Go to their website and you will see the ones that you do NOT carry.

Did I say Bondo? I ment JB weld.
Either way Im full of crap. I normally get 2nd (3rd,4th..?) hand jdmtyte rims with plenty of curb rash on them, and thives dont like curb rash. So unless they are Jdm tyte thives, I dont have to worry.

I paid $132 for mine and have NEVER matched my pattern/key w/ a key at any Pep Girls, Autwrong, O'RLY or any other national chain. Maybe you work the King Daddy of Discount Tires. :)
