Could anyone recommend a wheel lock nut brand? I hate the ricer look of them and it's not like I have $10K rims but I realize the need for them now. Things I'm looking for: security, metal strength, and ease of use. TIA.

McGard is one that comes to mind.
When I go to the Pick and Pull junk yard, occasionally there are some nice wheels with wheel locks on a vehicle. They usually just stay on the vehicle, because no one wants to try and break them off.
What made you realize you need them?

Having two wheels with very nice tires stolen recently.
Doh!!! I got a set of Nissan wheel locks for the rims on my Altima. Did you check with the place that you bought your rims?Originally Posted by InfiniteNothing
FYI: Make sure you carry the key for the locking lug nuts in your car in case you get a flat.
They were OEM rims. They actually have to be special ordered because they aren't made anymore. I know you can find wheel locks at the local auto parts store but I'm trying to see if anyone has good/bad feedback on any certain brands.
Good tip with the key. I think I'll keep the key with the spare.

atleast the locks will give the thief a hard time doesn't mean they can't break it.

Thanks. In the spirit of acting quickly I purchased McGard wheel lock nuts per JMK's suggestion. I also bought 4 new light weight rims.
