Some vehicles, including the older Tesla S, are missing the base

On some vehicles and many trucks, these locks slide out and slide out of the lock cap - such as the one on the Tesla S. 2014 car of the year Tesla model S. Contacted the company and they took care of it straight away - Gorilla's customer service is amazing.

Pros
  • Tough finish
Cons
  • Available in white only

Buy it. Good product.

You are great. I haven't looked at how easy/difficult it would be to remove them without a key, but they should be more difficult than the 1st gen. Too bad Hurricane Harvey ate both cars I just stopped in. Plan to buy again soon to replace my machine.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok

I am very disappointed

The Gorilla x2 locks concept is great. save your money I will not buy this product again. It appears to be made of plastic. The attached pictures show the end result of the first day of assembly. The white ring holds the top/rotating part on the nut. Luckily it broke down in the backyard instead of at my family's side of the road. I am extremely disappointed.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Protection

Great idea, doesn't work with current design

All four started to rust within the first week they were in my truck. When I first used the key, one of the twistlocks was tied so tightly it was almost impossible to fit it into the second ring of the two-piece key system. Obviously they need to be redesigned which shouldn't be that hard since they already have the basic concept. I really want to prevent others from taking the wheels off so as not to make it harder for me. WHY DOES IT RUST? Back to McGard.

Light surface rust after 9 months of use

I recently noticed that they have light rust after about 9 months of use. I don't live in a particularly icy area where we have to salt or finish the roads and I wash my car fairly regularly so I feel like the locks are lacking. I'll probably have to replace them before they're two years old just to make sure they still spin freely and aren't blocked by rust (which would damage the lock's design). I think they do their job but I wasn't looking for something I would have to buy on an annual…

Pros
  • Test for one year
Cons
  • Some bugs

Perfect fit for GM half ton

These nuts are perfect for my Β½ ton Sierra. They are slightly shorter than the factory lugs, which is better than sticking out further like most of them on the Revain. I originally bought a set of McGard nuts 24215. I wrote a review for this article for you to read, but more often than not the centers break out of them when very little torque is applied. Their design transmits all the torque to the base of the stud, making it almost impossible to break. Your tops spin freely and you must line…

  • This is awesome

Easy to Use - Tires and Wheels

14mm x 1.5 - Key Lugs for 2016 Dodge Ram 1500. With the right socket they install very easily and are almost indistinguishable from the factory lugs. from a distance of several meters. Easy to put on and take off. You hold the outside with your finger and turn the lock key until it aligns. Then push the locking key lightly and turn it until it aligns with the internal parts. Remove as usual after aligning both pieces. Trefoil wheel locks are so common that thieves in the Detroit area carry the…

Pros
  • Value for Money
Cons
  • Low
