I hate locking lug nuts. Mainly because of how they look. Autozone has them though.

 

[slowchevy]

Don't give a fuck, just want the wheels protected

Do you also have the lug nut cap covers?

If so, I would go to the dealership for the ones they have as the little covers are able to screw onto them...

I'll probably end up going with something like this

2000-2008 Chevrolet Impala Lug Nut - Mr. Lugnut - JCWhitney

Nobody is going to steal your wheels. And its not that hard for somebody to get locking lug nuts off if they don't have the "special" socket. They actually make a socket to get them off.

This is the brand I had on my z06 wheels, they came with the wheels.

Just weld your stock lug nuts to the studs.

I put some on the Honda. I was planning on getting new lugs and locks for my wagon as well at least for my summer setup. Nobody wants my stained gross stockers.

this dude acting like he's got expensive wheels. People with actual expensive wheels worth more than your car, don't even use locking keys. Fuck stealing wheels, people just steal the car. It's a lot easier. Lets be honest here, who the fuck steals GTX wheels?

Weird. I was at discount tire with a T/A the other day and I didn't have the lugnut key and the dude said they don't keep any in stock and I would have to purchase one from the dealer. Then he said he could break it off and replace it with a regular lugnut and that's what he did.

Any of them, you hammer a socket on just right, locking nut off within a minute... but... staying on topic, I got the ones from Vatozone, rusted up within a week. Plus, the keys were all the exact same between all the sets they sold, maybe one or two different...
