Be careful guys !!!

The key phrase here is: Conical Seat Type = Bulge

I'm using Gorilla Wheel Locks 96643BDX. With these you will not see the "Silver Ring" of aluminum wheel showing around the smaller standard conical seat lugs, meaning you do have the design full Conical Seat contact area !!!

I found them at:

Would these work with aftermarket wheels that require smaller tuner lugs? Looks like they might but I want to be sure before I drop $70 on em.

They might, but go to an auto parts store and drop $2 on a Dorman (or other replacement lug) and check the fit first. The spec is: Acorn lug nut - Conical Seat Type: Bulge - 14mm x 1.5 RH

Is it just me or these OEM wheel locks are just stupid long.

I checked a few time they are the correct part number.

Agreed...but in Houston...it will probably slow down the amateur thief's...and hopefully they'll move on to an easier target...

:thumbsup:
In that case, use two per wheel. I've never heard of amateur vs. professional in that line of work. You either come equipped to steal wheels or you don't. :crazy:
