Default Which Wheel Locks Are Better? Pics Attached.

McGard is said be the best so here are 2 that they make. On is larger then the other. The smaller cost about 2X as much as the larger one.

Any difference in the two? To me the larger one looks more heavy duty. I am afraid the smaller one might strip if I tried to take off a lock if a shop tightened the lug nuts too tight.

Anyone have any ideas or input about these two wheel locks?

Todd (DoubleWoosh, i believe) has/had them at a GB price. The smaller ones are the ones I have. I believe it is the "tuner" model. Some higher end wheels you have to use the small ones. I think the other ones are made for stock.

neither one will entirely prevent a wheel theft... get the ones that fit your wheels... small diameter for small bore wheels...
