Gorilla Automotive (71631X) 12mm x 1.50 Thread Size Acorn Chrome X2 Wheel Lock, (Pack of 4)

I ordered these after seeing a picture on Reddit of someone's CX-5 sitting on crates. They fit perfectly on my 2020 Mazda CX-5 Touring (17" rims). I understand that they will not stop someone who is truly determined to steal my wheels, but hopefully, they will make them skip my vehicle and move on to an easier target. This peace of mind makes them worth the expense, in my mind.I like the these are beefy, chromed, and don't have the keying engraved on their face, as some other wheel locks have. I had a set like that on a previous vehicle, and that engraving rusted over time and made the wheel look bad. Also, these are a great value for the money, and much cheaper than the ones offered by my car dealership.As you can see in the picture, they don't stand out too much in comparison to the regular lugs on the wheel.I can't speak to ease of installation, as my lug nuts were on too tight for me to remove them so I could install these. So I waited till my next tire rotation and asked the shop to do it for me. They didn't pass back any comments reflecting difficulty or anything like that, though.

I really like the spinning head of these nuts because it prevents removal using some common tricks to defeat them. Unfortunately they’re supposedly still easy to remove if somebody uses a deep enough socket and gets it to bite into the inner section just right, but what ya gonna do? I actually use a set of these and another different set just to make it harder for some low-life thief.

Works as expected. The people returning it are not paying attention to the specs of their vehicle. You need to find out what thread your car has for the lugs to make sure you get the right ones. I have no complaints with these. They look like regular lug nuts so they give the thieves false hope.

No wheel lock is totally thief proof. But I think these are one of the more difficult wheel locks on the market to defeat due to the spinning top section. If your wheels have deep bolt holes as mine do, you won’t be able to get a vice grip on the lower solid section, leaving only the spinning top exposed. You “could” pound a 12 pt. oversized socket on deep enough to eventually reach the solid part. But then you’d have to try to remove that deeply embedded lug nut out of your socket each time before moving on to the next one. A real PITA to say the least. So I put two on each wheel to double the fun. I figure that should discourage even the most dedicated lowlife scumbag to move on to an easier target. I guess that makes me a big spender to spend $44 for two sets. But that’s well worth every penny to greatly minimize the possibility of returning to a car sitting on the ground with no wheels on it.

Perfect

Bought these after seeing a review on how easy thieves can steal your rims with the wheel locks from the dealer. So far so good.

great product! it cant be any better!

Easy to install and seem to provide a little better protection than the standard wheel locks sold by auto dealers. The price was very reasonable also.
