The kind that's welded on.

You can get wheel locks but a determined thief is going to get them one way or another.

You could put 5 sets of locks on your car, but good lucking finding someone that's willing to work on your car if it requires removing the wheels.

Normally you use one set, which is 4 locks, one lock per wheel.

Id try to park my car in the garage and throw out whoever uses it. Have that Karr installation or one of those Car Pagers to let you know someones trying to jack your car, just be sure to carry a 45. or something.

Those dont look like locks, just regular lugs. If you had those, id steal them and leave your rims.

Those T1R are my dream lug nuts. If you want something with the same style finish, you can get the Kics lug nuts in a Neo-Chrono finish. The lock itself is pretty unique. Here's a pic of them with my old rims:

The website says that they have a special taper for after market rims. It goes on to say that using them with stock rims will damage them. Are all after market lug nuts that way. I used mine to mount my spare a few weeks ago and now I'm wondering if I damaged my lug nuts. Anybody know about this?
