Wheel Locks?

[Next Phase]

I should ask my insurance agent now how much they will jack up my rates once my CF wheels get stolen.... I think it's inevitable....hahaha

Not really concerned about the locks. More concerns that Ford would use chrome lugs on black wheels.:tsk:

Thanks, I just bought the same ones. Agree with black looking much better. Having 20 locking lug nuts might slow someone down a little and make the operation a little louder as having to pound a socket onto each one will attract some attention.

I ordered the wheel locks Ford recommended for the car based on my part department guys research. I'm sure they're nothing special, again just a "slow them down" kind of thing. The lugs are on backorder, should have them in a couple weeks. If it were easier to throw photos up here without having to host them elsewhere first I'd share photos of them when they arrive!

Update with before/after pics

Here it is before and after with the Black Gorilla Locking Lug Nuts (96643BDX):

Really, it's damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Gorilla makes a nice set that uses a large hex key for each lung nut that I have used in the past. It's not as common as a regular lug nut, but common enough a thief could have the proper tool to remove. I think the basic idea is to have something other than the standard lugs on the car and not have a single locking lug that looks out of place.

Edit: I'm not sure if Gorilla offers these in the correct thread for the newer metric studs.

Ok Ok, now I've got it. I need five of these kits, with 5 different keys. At $20 each will come to $100, and drive the mechanics crazy when I need new tires, I could mix and match the locks to different wheels so you never know what key works what nut, lmao. Lets see someone hammer a socket onto these!

I have a set of these on mine. What's nice about them is that sleeve creates a thin wall so a standard socket can't fit inbetween to hammer one on.
