Wheel locks

Any recommendations on which wheel locks are best for the 19" wheels.

I have the same question for the Volk SF-Winnings.

Do they come with wheel locks? If not which one's should I get to protect my wheels from being stolen?

I bought the McGard Spline Drives with locks. Gives ya 2 pieces of protection. The Spline drive itself which someone would need the socket and a spline drice keyed nut which comes with another socket. Probably just about the best you can do.

+1

That's the same setup I have. Compliments my Work wheels too.

I got mine off a subaru site. The black splines compliment my gunmetal wheels perfectly.

I have a set of Nissan wheel locks. I used one briefly on my 19-inch Volk SF Winnings. The other three are brand new. I only used the one temporalily because the dealership lost my lug nut when doing my brakes. They are silver, nickel and chrome plated. I'd be willing to let these go for cheap. PM me.

They are these same ones: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW

Try Summit Racing online store. Google them and order away.

I'd suggest the Tuner Spline Drive set.

I am going to get the McGard Spline drive set. I will also have a second lock on each wheel.

That being said, should I order the 16pc set or 20pc?

Pretty sure the answer is 16, but want to double check before I pay for them.

If you're putting on two locks, get the 16pc set.

Is there a difference in security of open-ended or closed-ended wheel locks or is the difference simply looks? Thanks.
