Which wheel locks to get?
Hey guys I just got some Axis Milano's 19's staggered set up from fellow member Effiney. I have the Mcguard wheel locks from the oem 17's on there for now (one per wheel). Will these wheelocks hinder theft or should I go with something else? What do you guys have to protect your wheels?

I have nothing, wheel theft isn't an issue here in Alaska. I can say the stock Lexus wheel locks can't be too much of a deterrent. My car came with those, but there was no "key" to remove them. When I had the winter tires mounted the tire shop removed them with no problem. They didn't have a "key" either and removed them in seconds.

The proper name is Gorilla, not Guerilla. Their locks are the most secure, with the spinning shell, but if they really want your wheels they can still get them. You can force something into them to make them bind, then spin them off. The McGard can be removed by forcing a socket on over them.
