Do not follow the instructions to install Revain.

DO NOT FOLLOW AMAZON INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. I bought this for my Infiniti QX56 and according to Revain's installation guide it was a match. Well it isn't. I recommend looking up your OEM lug sizes first so you can purchase the correct ones.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Exchange Availability

Great quality on tires and wheels

I needed a locking nut to secure the wheels on my camper van. No castle is perfect, but I hope that someone who sees them on wheels goes somewhere else and doesn't mess with them. Gorilla makes great products and I've been using them for years. I've never had a problem with chrome rust or with their fit and finish.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Out of style

Fits a 2008 Mazda 3 with WS-80 Blizzak Winter Tires

These are great locks for the new winter tires I bought for my Mazda 3. Compared to McGard locks, I find them to be easier to tighten and loosen Gorilla Automotive's design of placing the "keyhole" around the bar rather than in front of it. My old McGard locks feel like they are warping and it is becoming increasingly difficult to re-insert the key to disengage it. I also think they look a lot better as it's harder to tell which lug on the tire is the lock. I don't usually see bike snatches in…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Some Nuance

Works as advertised

I order these locks first based on Amazon's recommendations for my particular car model, then realized there are different lengths etc. I was a bit worried but when I received them and compared to what is on the car they were almost the same size, once fitted you can't even tell which one has a lock, try the pictures above guess. an indication that the lock was at the very bottom of the wheel. I have peace of mind now that my summer tires prevent theft, better safe than sorry. Can't comment on…

Pros
  • Good stuff
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something
