Default Question about lugs and wheels locks...

I just purchased a set of volks with volk lug nuts. I was wondering if volk includes 4 wheel locks for your wheels? The reason i ask is because i see a lot of vendors selling rays lugs with locks included. I was wondering if the vendor is throwing these locks in, or does volk include 4 locks, one for each wheel?

If volk does not include locks, then i'm going to need some wheel locks to try to prevent theft. Any suggestions on black wheel locks?

Special locks and lugs are extra unless you are talking about the regular chrome lugs most venders include. I would suggest Rays or Kics.

I'm confused, if you get a package of Rays lugs, you'll have 16 6 sided 17mm lugs and 4 7 sided 'keyed' lugs with adapter. Only downside is that I hear they are lightweight and can be split off the stud. Then again, just about any locking lug has some sort of weakness. But the quality of the rays is top notch.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if rays lugs came with locks. I was trying to find this out. This was the kind of feedback and info i was looking for from this thread. Thanks again.

The seven sided one is sorta tricky. You have to be careful because you dont want to scratch them by spinning the key around until it finds the groove. And you dont want to accidentally try to put the regular socket on the key. You have to really get down and look for the key, then the groove with good light. Mine havent scratched, but they seem like they would without much effort.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep this in mind.
