All studs are essentially locks.

So far a great set of cleats that take no obvious damage by simply tightening them down like regular cleats do. It's also nice that it will be harder for thieves to steal my wheels as they are unlikely to have any of these keys in their theft inventory. A good way to protect your wheels is to buy two or three sets of them with different key profiles and separate them in cleats on your car. It costs more, but at least 2-3 layers of protection instead of one.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Appearance

Good idea. "It fits " However, Revane was disappointing.

Love the idea (mostly a custom bolt rather than a custom crop top) but although they are advertised for my 2014 Tundra 1794 they don't have the large underside of the wrist pins. Of course they would tighten, but I wouldn't be sure if they would support the wheel. I sent them back. It was in the past. I bought another set for my 2019 Mustang with aftermarket wheels. They are alright. lol. But Revain' this match is still inaccurate. Says it will not fit a 2018 or 2019 Mustang GT.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Unfashionable

Excellent nuts for the price

Excellent nuts for the price. I'm sure just about any dealer or professional thief can pick them off with a lockpick, but it does help deter roaming the streets. from the fact that I took my hard drives. I wish the key was longer. but it doesn't deserve a star deduction. but something to consider when buying (mine uses 13/16). I tried the "small diameter" acorn tips but felt they didn't quite fit so I reverted to these.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Nothing here

Charger R/T Application

I installed 71643N wheel locks on a 2006 Charger R/T that failed with misaligned nuts. Combination of inferior OEM studs and clueless tire centers. I have used gorilla lockers on other vehicles with great success. I hope this set will meet the requirements. My only issue, and as other reviews have stated, is that the surface area of the seat that contacts the wheels is probably about 75% of the OEM size. If this situation bothers you, then don't buy. Haven't found any issues yet, but I'll…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Lightly dented

Great lug nuts, high quality chrome finish, perfect fit

I have American Racing rims with a fairly small hole around the nut. The gorilla system has done its job. Perfect fit and I would say the chances of a thief getting these wheels are almost nil. The only small comment I would have is that I would like the seller to have 6 nuts and 8 lug nuts as not all aftermarket wheels have 5 lugs. However, I bought two sets and now have both right and left locks, but the looks are excellent and the cost of the two gorilla sets was at least 20% less than my…

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Much better than OEM

Bought this kit for my 2004 Jeep TJ Rubicon when one of the OEM nuts fell apart after removing it. They use a standard iron nut with what appears to be a tin cap that comes loose. Gorilla Nuts are solid, chrome plated very well. It's also great to have a lock nut on each stud - and since they're all the same they look so much better than 4 OEM nuts and a lock nut. Delivery was great too. I live in Canada and they are out of stock on amazon.ca so I ordered them on amazon.com. They were on my…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • The list will be long.

They are cool! I only needed 3 more as a spare.

I ordered a new Jeep for my daughter. They are exactly what I wanted with one exception. It had nothing to do with the quality or cost of the locks. They are cool! I only needed 3 more for the back jeep replacement and a spare key. I really wanted them to match what we're putting on the bikes. My daughter loses enough things. I didn't want her having to keep up with 2 different keys. I connected to the internet and found a phone number for Gorilla Automotive Products. I called them, told them…

Peace of Mind - Lug Nuts

These spade lugs look good and give me peace of mind. If thieves come to my 2016 Ford Edge Sport, they will likely leave in search of an easier target. Ditch the standard wheel locks and get great protection for less than $50. If you are considering these cleats, I would advise getting an extra key with the code found in the cleat box ($15). As others have reported, there may be times when your stud wrench is accidentally left at the shop where you change tires. NEVER leave the key in the car…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
