Default wheel locks

where can i get wheel locks that have the spinning feature, that prevents a socket from being hammered over it? i searched every where gorilla & mcguard sites, what is the best wheel lock out there for a bullet style lug. my wheels dont have wheel caps and i saw a honda jacked up on bricks on the way home last night, close to my hpuse too

Hey check your local DISCOUNT TIRE COMPANY they should have what you need in stock ready to bolt right on. They are made by Gorlliza cost around $50-$60 for the set of 20 with key and every lock needs the key for it to come off so that should help keep your wheels on. Or you can go online @ www.discountire.com hope that helps ya.

Unless I'm mistaken, these McGard locks do NOT have the spinning feature. Todd is selling the splined tuner lug nuts, but the locks are similar to the regular ones - star pattern, smooth outside.

The spinning Gorilla locks are called "Guard Locks". See www.gorilla-auto.com.

Henry, I checked the McGard website and I found no indication of spinning locks. My guess is that you have the Gorilla, maybe Todd sells both? Could you check the Gorilla website to see if they are the ones you have? Here's the direct link:

nah, i am very positive that i have mcguards, coz' when they came in they are in a package and on the package it says mcguards. unless it's rebadge?

i can confirm again this weekend when i am down in LA to see if the locks are indeed spinning. but i am pretty sure they are mcguards
