worth every penny for the care

Excellent quality, easy installation, very durable. They fit my wheels perfectly. I tried to remove them without a key, didn't succumb. They're worth protecting your drives, especially ones that cost a lot of money. It also comes with a product number to get a new key from the company for a fee if you lose it, but even that isn't too expensive.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Secret

Decent product, not shiny at all, consider matte or satin when buying

This is definitely a decent product when it comes to safety, but its description and actual appearance are not close. Items are matte black rather than gloss or black chrome or something like that. However, the return/refund process wasn't bad at all and the product itself was good quality too, just misdescribed or photographed too well, definitely not shiny.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Band

Don't waste money!

If I could give these wheel locks 0 stars I would. I know I'm not allowed to use percussion guns on wheellocks. They couldn't even manually handle the torque. Lock key stuck in nuts after 1 use. I had to move a lot to get it off and this caused damage to my brand new wheels which I wanted to protect from theft. I will remove these wheel locks from my car and will never use any other product from this brand again. STAY AWAY ! My McGard wheel locks weren't even tightened the same way.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Compatibility

Not good enough in union nuts and accessories

When I opened the box I saw that the union nuts were rusted inside, more than usual. But the ending upset me the most. Not sure if it's paint or not but the finish was patchy and uneven and certainly not shiny like my wheels. The finish was more like blued steel, like a gun barrel, but not smooth because the parts are not previously polished as is done before steel is blued. Judging by the finish alone they are not attractive and I suspect they will fall apart over time. I have another brand…

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

My proboscis monkey likes gorilla ears. That means four things (wheels) he has less to worry about if someone tries to break into my car. Installed the kit on my wife's Murano and it was great to see the local Nissan technician trying to figure out how they could remove the wheels for the 'mandatory' turn (which they said we had to pay for ). They couldn't take the bikes off so there is no rotation for us and we don't have to pay for it. This is the second set I have bought with the intention…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Big and bulky

If only I knew the best in Lugged Nuts

I always say that learning by doing is learning that stays with you forever and it gets me even more. I have a 2006 Dodge RAM 1500 SLT 4X4. I bought a 9297 page service manual for my truck to save money on repairs and simple (with manual) repairs. Both the Dodge service manual and the Revain vehicle inspection state that these lug nuts/gorilla wheel locks will fit my truck. What is the problem? Well, my truck came (bought used) with factory installed (dealer?) 20" x 9" alloy wheels and they're…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Pretty good

Not only does it make you feel better, it WORKS!

I have a 2010 Nissan 370Z 40th Anniversary. The wheels are standard but very nice. Naively, I didn't have a wheel guard on the car. This July (2012) I woke up to my beautiful Z on 4 big stones with no wheels! After an agonizing week of trying to find a towing company that could put the car in the back of a truck without the wheels, I finally took the car to the shop and the insurance company came to inspect it. A few weeks later I was back in business. Before I had a car, I did a lot of…

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • Will write later
