Mine didn't back in 04 when I bought it.
GL with my locks though, None of my lugnuts take normal sockets, they'res three different sockets you'll need to take off my lugnuts. I keep one of my locks in my pocket whenever I leave the car. The other two are hidden in random places. The key barely fits between the lock and the hole in the rim, so you couldn't get anything with enough leverage to take the lock off.

i have two different types, one of which i keep at home, which became a problem when they got to my rims yesterday to put new tires on, needless to say i had to make a trip home really quickly

Wheel locks are great to have since they will stop amateurs, but if someone wants your wheels, they'll get your wheels.
No need to buy different locks for each wheels... it's the same to thieves.

BTW, this>any wheel lock.

i have 2 different locks on each of my wheels but like others said... it will only slow down someone whose determined.
Dont forget to get extra copies of your wheel lock keys!!!!!!
my dealership recently broke my key, ofcourse I didn't have a friendly reminder and only had one lock, so now im waiting for McGard to send my sheez back, while at the same time my two rear wheels are bald/flattening and completely locked on my car. No you cant break the locks those are my time attacks!

Ok did I make my point? I live in a city where this is unheard of but I still act as tho its gonna, just in case.
Wheel locks aren't the answer. A GARAGE is... I have wheel locks but they still wouldn't stop somebody from vandalizing my car in another way. Any car enthusiast should have a garage to house their vehicles. A vehicle is the most valuable thing most people own (other than their house). All the other less valuable possessions (televisions, etc...) are kept safely inside. I believe your vehicle should be treated the same way if you value it.
Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine. I know everyone doesn't have a garage but many people do and still don't park inside of them because of all the other junk they store in their garages. Those people need to unclutter their lives and protect their vehicles... I'm the only person on my block who parks both of their cars in the garage (all the houses have two car garages).

+1. I always keep my Maxima and G in the garage. My Explorer while not worth much at this point sits on the RV pad in my back yard behind a locked gate. Aside from the security aspect of keeping G in the garage it is nice not having to scrape the windows of frost in the morning during the fall and winter.

I cannot imagine a thief not being noticed pounding away on wheels like this though.



It takes me 15 mins just to get to them.
