It seems they are now discontinued.. I was able to order a set early this summer through a local vendor.

Don't get ordinary wheel locks which can be defeated by hammering a slightly larger socket. You want the free spinning - sleeves wheel locks. You can't defeat by hammering sockets. It makes the thieves to wanna move on to another easier target. Put 2 sets on each will and the thieves is gonna be in pain.
To actually defeat, you need a power drill then use a broken screw extractor kit. Too much noise, to do this for each wheel, the theives will earn a bullet hole in his head when the owner wakes up.

Here is one of the reviews
" When I first bought the car I became obsessed with protecting the wheels from thieves. I'm in law enforcement and my unit specializes in vehicle related thefts. I'm a little more sensitive to this stuff than most people. I did some research and these seemed to make the most sense. They're spline locks that are protected by an outer sleeve that rotates around the splines.
.
The locks themselves are atractive, sturdy, and well made. They stick out a little more than the OEM lugnuts, but it's not very noticable unless you're looking for it. They're also shinier(?) than my OEMs. Didn't like the asymetry so I ordered 4 more sets...all keyed to the same registration so that I only need one key to take off all the locks.
.
Most wheel locks can be defeated by simply hammering a cheap socket over them. Another common method would be to tighten the other lugnuts so as to release the pressure on the wheel lock. These locks appear to be impervious to these methods. A thief can hammer away all day and all he'll engage is the spinning sleeve. I won't go so far as to say that my wheels are now "unstealable," but if anyone knows of an instance where these things were defeated by a thief in the night, I'd LOVE to know how it was done. My mechanic could probably do it, but he'll need power tools, lots of time, and he'll probably make lots of noise."
^first rule when talking about theft prevention, etc is to NOT talk about (especially post online) ways to defeat anti theft devices. even if it is 'common knowledge' etc. all that does is let MORE people know how to defeat common anti theft devices.Originally Posted by shadowman

as for the 'rimlox'
^if that is what they are.... eh it just seems a little iffy. by that i mean, that seems like such a small amount of space to be exerting the recommended amount of tightening torque. it seems like it would be fairly easy for the attachment to slip and eventually strip.
the best thing to do, in my opinion, is to document the price of wheels/etc and have insurance for when that undeterrable thief eventually does steal your ****.
