Default wheel locks

[8D]Opinions wanted.

Just bought a set of TSW wheels for my 08 accord EX, (pix coming soon) but, forgot to order wheel locks. Now am having a hard time finding them locally. Are they really theft proof (or resistant) and worth it??? My OEM wheel locks don't fit.

Thanks 4 ur responses.

Default RE: wheel locks

Well, put it this way. For 100 bucks you can buy a broken wheel lock removal socket set. It is a hardened impact gun socket with a reverse thread inside. It will remove any lock or spline drive lugnut. If the theif REALLY wants your rims, they can break your hub and take it that way too ..... so theft resistant is more appropriate. The most secure of the options would be spline drive lug nuts with a spline drive type lock nut as well .... I think they sell them on Summit Racing.
