I've searched around a little bit and got the answers to a few of my questions but I'm looking for something a little more definite. I've had my rims for a little over a year, haven't had wheel locks on them and luckily nothing has happened to them yet. However that doesn't mean I'm not worried about them. I have some Falken Circuit Spec rims which take tuner lug nuts. They came with a key, but I found out that I can simply use the 15mm socket I have in my tool chest to take em off . lol. Anyway I'm looking into buying a set of wheel locks. Now I know if someone wants my rims bad enough that won't stop them, but I'm not worried about the professional thieves, not a shot in hell they'd bother with my rims, i'm more worried about someone random trying to steal them in the middle of the night. My question is which ones should I get, I'm looking at the Gorilla Guard and Gorilla Guard 2 system but which style would fit my car? Acorn ,Short Shank, or standard Mag.. or non of those. Any ideas?

 

Still have the original lugs? if so, I'd check one of the lugs that came with the new rims and see how similar they are... If they're the same, I'd assume it's not an issure, but if there's some significant differences, then I'd start calling the manufacturer and seeing what they reccomend. I've never dealth with this problem, that's how I'd go about it though. Good luck!

-or, take it to a local tire shop... I'm sure they'd know.

 

hit up a local tire store and see what they recomend.......most tuner lugs will not stop anyone from getting them off.........like you said we found it is easier to use the 15 mm socket instead of the tuner key.

 

You might want to try McGard @ www.mcgard.com

 

Thanks for the link. They got some interesting stuff there actually.

 

The Falken Circuit Spec's use a conical seated tuner lug nut. Make sure that the wheel locks you get are for tuner style wheels.

 

i just use splined lugs and a set of bull locks.

 

Okay. Thats what I was looking for. I knew my current lugs were Tuners but i couldn't find tuners on the gorilla site so I figured they might have a different name. So I actually do have to get Tuner Wheel Locks then I guess? Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it.
