Gorilla Locks
I jus got a set of new rims and was lookin at getting the Gorilla Guard locks for em. Did everyone just get 5 sets of the locks so that every lug would be a lock? That seems like a hassle to rotate tires and all. Anyone jus get 1 or 2 sets and use them with regular lugs? If so, how does it look? Does it look kind of odd with the lock being different than the other lugs? If anyone has a pic that would be great. Thanks.

I bought 5 locks from the McGaurd group buy for several reasons.
1. It is obviously a hassle to remove the rims, but just think how a would be thief would react? Hopefully it sends a clear message to try an easier target.
2. They all match when you have all locks instead of having lugs and locks mixed together.
3. I compared the cost of buying a 1 lock 4 lug set to buying a 3 lock with 4 lug set and for just a few bucks more I could get a 5 lock set with no lugs. So it made $$ sense to either have all locks or just one lock per wheel.
4. My tires & rims retail for a ton of money, but even if yours don't, the cost of locks is cheap insurance and the money your're saving compared to losing your rims is just not worth it.

I have these:

If the link doesn't work. It's in JC Whitney site under wheels/wheel lock sets.
I don't mind being hassled. I hope the thief feels the opposite.
