Question What wheel locks is everyone using?

My stock wheel locks and key are pretty screwed up. I was looking at Gorilla wheel locks..but I see that they don't have an outside thread for the lugnut caps. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a quality set of wheel locks and a key?

My roommate had some Gorilla locks on his Enkei wheels and after about a year or so, the socket rounded off the "keyed" lugnut, and they weren't fun to get off. So he switched to McGards, and hasn't had a problem since. So I learned from his mistake and bought a set of McGards for my TT2s. I like them.

For those of you running the McGards what is the part number you are using? I've been looking on Summit's site but can't seem to find the type where you are able to screw on the plastic lug nut cap.

No wheel locks here. If they want your wheels they'll get em. Only person they make hard it hard to get your wheels off for is you. My philosophy anyway.

Same thing goes for locking a car.. but anything to slow a person down is better than nothing at all.

I dont believe they make them so you can put covers on but I could be wrong
