McGard vs. Gorilla Wheel Locks
Please sound off as to what type of wheel locks you have and your opinions of them, price, looks, security, etc.
I haven't purchased any yet, that's why I am wondering what you guys think are the best/worst locks.

I just ordered 5 sets of the gorilla guard II locks today. yeah i know having 5 different keys will be a pita to deal with, but realistically, how often do you take your wheels off?
anyways, i chose them because of the security features. External key with that sleeve that goes around it making it doublely hard to hammer a socket over it. I don't remember who said it before, but they're right saying that it would be easier to steal the car than it would to jack the wheels, especially with each lug having a lock on it.

you do realize I watched a guy with an electric drill pull off a wheel lock that was broken by torqueing down the clamp on the front enough to grab the lock?
1 wheel lock, or 5, if somebody wants your wheels, they're coming off.
I have 1 Mcgard wheel lock set and 1 gorilla set, only because I got the gorilla set for peanuts and the Mcgard wheel lock came with my spline drive lugs set.
When I autocross I put on the the 8 other spline drive lugs I have because some people take their wheels off, a lot.

Yeah, I have never seen a lock you cant remove if you want to. It is a quick deterent for those opportunistic theives, but someone serious about it will have them off in no time.
