Gorilla Tuner Wheel Lock System?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Tuner...spagenameZWD1V

Hi guys, I don't know much about wheel locks or lug nuts. Just wondering if anyone has this so called "Tuner Wheel Lock System", and if so, what's ur opinion on it? It claims to make every lug nut a wheel lock, how does that work? I've tried searching all over google and on the gorilla main website, but was left without a clue. Another feature mentioned for this wheel lock system is that it eleminates wheel balancing problems. Is that a big issue, especially if i'm considering of running a combination of McGard and Gorilla wheel locks with oem lug nuts, would that introduce wheel balancing problems? Any input is greatly appreciated, thank you!!

1) Those arent GORILLA brand

2) They arent anything special, they are good ole' fashioned lug nuts and key. Anyone with $5 or that has had aftermarket rims before can unscrew them.

Not a good idea bro

Go Rays or GORILLA from their sites

Just make sure you get wheel locks to deter criminals.

IMO the rays are not worth the $ but get a good name brand set. The lugs are so close to the center of mass the weight makes very little difference.

+1 wheels locks are not 100% affective in stoping criminals, but at least it will deter the less determined ones. If someone wants your wheels he/she will get them no matter what.

And on that note i should put mine on.

I went with the project Kics R26. They were expensive but very light and they look good also. They have a spinning seat that will not scratch your wheels.
