Unique design, looks difficult to break thru to steal your wheels. Looks great on my rims...only issue I have is the key, I think they are all the same?? as I bought 2 sets of these wheel locks...very surprised to find them keyed alike.

im very happy with the product it was shipped very fast and it is brand new like description.

These wheel locks are perfect for my ride. I have an Infiniti G35 and i have some pretty expensive wheels. For the price and for the quality, these are just perfect. They seem pretty tough to break thru so i really recomment these locks.

Wheel locks are pretty common where I live. The common ones are awkward, since they require torking by hand, and they are also not so effective. My daughter's softball coach had expensive wheels stolen, and so did people up and down his block that day. They all had wheel locks from a competitor.

This is my second set from Gorilla. My first was nice, especially considering that it replaced all my lug nuts. And they looked like standard high quality chrome lug nuts. It was also good, considering I had a standard lug nut stolen, and then the replacement was stolen too.

Unlike my old set, this one has an outer sleeve, so the lug wrench adapter goes into a narrow opening. Although my old set seemed pretty secure, this one seems as tamper proof as you can expect, since the sleeves spin. The only down side is that I could not find it in a full set, and things would look nicer if all my lug nuts matched. Buying several sets is not an option, since they would all be keyed differently.

I bought them from Amazon, but they are not available as of this writing. If they don't come back, I'd suggest buying them wherever you can find them, or doing another Amazon search in case another Amazon partner offers them under a different listing.

I found these on Amazon, ordered them, and they arrived two days later. I was really surprised to find the package said, "Made In USA" - that was an added bonus for me because I like to buy American where possible. I have a 2011 Nissan S version Xterra with the alloy wheels (torque is 98 ft-lbs). I installed these wheel locks and I am completely happy with the form, fit and finish. They do not seat flush with the wheel as do the original wheel nuts, but it is close enough to where I think they fit very well and blend in well with their excellent chrome plating. For the price I paid - I can say I am a completely satisfied Gorilla customer and I feel my wheels are very secure.

These are probably one of the best designed wheel locks on the market. The security collars prevent thieves from hammering a socket onto the lug, and the key itself is short and sturdy, lessening the likelihood of breaking the key when opening or tightening the lock. Just bear in mind that these locks are wide in diameter and length (1.5"), so make sure they fit your wheel before you buy them.

Gorilla Guard lug locks are great, there is a spinning head on it to prevent people from using a lug stripper. Would recommend to others with Nissan GT-Rs

Normally gorilla locks are useless because you can look at them and see they're gorilla and go buy the key at your local hardware store. I like these because they have the covering around the outside that makes it hard to see the pattern of the bolt, and definitely impossible to grab ahold of with anything and pull out. The free-spinning outer covering is a genius idea to prevent the casual thief, although I recommend getting two sets of these at least and installing opposite each other in case they try to take off the rest of your lugs and just twist the last one off using the wheel.

Nice wheel locks! Highly recommended!

The guy at my tire shop recommended these. He said that he removes locks all the time, and most locks can be removed in seconds with a special tool. These locks are much harder to remove, and they take about 15 minutes each because the outer ring has to be chipped off with a chisel.

They lose a star because I don't think there are very many unique key patterns. I wanted 5 unique sets (one for each lug), and in my first order there were a couple sets that matched. I had to order 2 extra sets to get 5 unique.

Before I ordered them, I was worried that they wouldn't fit into the lug bore because of the outer ring. They did fit, barely. The OD of the outer ring is exactly 1 inch.
