Lock nuts for wheels on your Jeeps?

[Grady]

Which lock nut are you using for your aftermarket wheels on your Jeep? A buddy was telling me last year that there are some that are completely worthless because the keys are so mainstream. So kind of hoping to avoid going with that one.

I haven't bothered with wheel locks in years. You can get around most locks with very little difficulty and its actually easier to just take the whole vehicle then it is to steal the rims.
Some of the lock designs will wear out making it impossible to remove using the key. Sometimes just proper torque is enough to strip the top. The ones that lasted the longest were the "spline" type but, those were the easiest to get off.

If you need it and cant find the key your not changing the tire. At the shop, I had a master kit that would remove most locking lug nuts if the customer lost the key or couldn't get them off with the key. I never saw one I couldn't get off without the key.

Gorilla wheel locks are the best IMHO
