Not like the picture

The product shown in the picture does not match the name. When I bought it I didn't pay attention to the name as it says the end is open ended.

Pros
  • 1/2" thread size
Cons
  • Fair

Too short if you have extra long bolts

I think one of the reasons people buy open ended wheel locks is because they have extra long wheel bolts. I used to have a set of locks that were too long (looked intrusive) but this set was too short. The bolts protruded from the nuts. But they survived my handbrake turns well :p

Pros
  • 60 degree tapered fit
Cons
  • -

Bought these for my Infiniti with iForged rims and they work great. The only thing I would change is to make the grounding socket that came with it a little longer. The lug holes on my wheels are pretty deep and the outlet is inside. I would have preferred if the outlet was still open. The construction on them seems good. I've put them on and off 3 times and they still twist great. I feel like they offer more security than regular nuts, but in the end if a thief wants to get your wheels, they…

Pros
  • Includes 20 wheel locks and a key
Cons
  • There are nuances
