When I bought new wheels they came with those lug nuts that can only be opened by a certain socket. Gorilla locks they are called. I thought they would be a pain because what if I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with a flat tire and I don't have that socket. So I just thought that I wouldn't use them. But the wheels only came with enough nuts so that you have to use them. Think I should use them or go out and buy four more lug nuts?Whats everyones opinion on wheel locks?

From someone that has put on many, many tires, I hate them. But I suppose if you have a problem getting your wheels stolen they are great. Otherwise they are a waste of money and time.

well I live in the country and everyone knows each other out here. I not too worried about getting my wheels stolen, but then again I just spent $1000 on them, I might as well protect them. A guy I know just had a whole bunch of parts stolen off his car including his wheels, but he was in Canada

 

I'd think that its well worth the relativly few dollars for the wheel locks compared to spending another grand for a new set of rims after the first set gets stolen. I use wheel locks and they aren't too much more of a hassle to take off.
