Where can I purchase unique wheel locks?

Got my wheels stolen. Don't want it to happen again. Where to purchase unique one of a kind wheel locks?

Or else I might have to buy 20 sets of wheel locks. A different lock for each bolt.

Doesnt matter how many locks you have... if someone wants your wheels, they'll get em. I can get 20 different wheel locks off without scratching the wheels in about a minute a piece (i break off wheel locks on customers cars when they've lost their key, i dont steal wheels.. ha!)

But yeah, Gdup is right, if they want your wheels, they'll get them no matter what... Maybe put a GPS tracking device on each wheels? LOL

it also depends on what wheels you're getting as some will only allow you to use a spline drive lug (smaller lug holes) But if you can fit the stock lug nuts on the wheel then you can pretty much use any wheel lock.

like the club, its just a theft deterrent, if someone wants your wheels that bad they will take them... they will just add a few more minutes to the theft...

grab some mcgards or OE locks...

This do come in handy when you want to steal some wheels.

I don't think there is a lock that you can't unlock.

I think that only way to prevent this is to maybe park close to walls or curbs or something else that will not allow thief to get them off easy.

Years ago I had a Porsche with wheel locks that I think would be a bit harder to remove. The Lugs were alloy and the lock was a turning barrel that slid over the lug. The end of the barrel had a key lock in it. You had to unlock it (or break it somehow) then the barrel would slide off exposing the lugs nut. Maybe something like this is the answer. Check out Porsche lugs from the mid 80's and early 90's and see if anyone else makes a lock like this that fits Infiniti threads.

or you can try such as


The Dency 2000 Wheel Nuts by KYO-EI, the same company that produces Kics spaces, utilizes and electronic magnetic key for superior theft prevention.

Electronic Key
Developed with leading manufacturer Miaw lock
Locks with powerful magnetic force, duplication would be very difficult
With the adoption of the ferrite magnet, high degree of safety
Because there is no key hole, makes it very hard to pick
Lightweight form for improved wheel balance.

Core Nut Key
Abundant lock pattern.
Preventing the slide with the form which thought of the dispersion of torque.
Super hard (SCM435) forging for increased durability
