Default Wheel lock recomendation

Pardon the stupid question, but I already had a bad experience with a set. The chrome peeled off, the lock key lost its teeth and I had to pay for somebody to remove the frozen locks. This was on another car.

I do NOT want to submit my Z to that. So any good experience with quality wheel locks? Any particular brand?

Thanks.

I have used and sold gorilla locks to most of my customers and have had not one complaint with them.

I agree with Mike (valuetl) on the Gorillas for lock nuts. For my regular lugnuts, I would use the Kyokugen Heptagonal lugnuts.

Unhappy Wheel Lock is useless..

According to one of my friends who used to major is stealing wheels, THE WHEEL LOCK IS USELESS..
He said it won't stop them for single second!..the only affect is the wheel will have a little bit damage around lug nuts area..
The only wheel lock that really stop them for stealing wheels is BMW's..Too bad it's won't fit on Z..

Well, is kind of like that stick on the steering wheel. It might not stop them, but it might deter them a little....

I guess I might as well try...

Thanks for the input.

I found this web site with a good description, but I am still not sure which ones fit...

Gorilla Locks

NOTE: I am not endorsing that web site or business. I was just passing along the lock info found there.
