Ok, so there are a fair few companies out there that manufacture wheel lock nuts for aftermarket rims, but I have noticed that most lock nuts only come with 1 lock nut per rim. Don't want to have to find that all nuts (apart from the 4) have been flogged after paying the price you do for them...

Besides Wedssport, is there any other companies that does lock nuts on all 4 bolts/ rim?

Otherwise I will just have to get them for my security and piece of mind.

Usually you only get one per rim because if they are able to remove one locknut, then you would assume that they could remove the rest, rendering it useless to have all of the nuts on the wheel as locknuts.

At the end of the day, it's just to slow would-be thieves down. If they want to take them off; they will find a way.

If you were seriously considering getting four lock nuts per wheel in your case, then buy four different sets (of four) each with a different locking key. Use one per wheel. Then you will need to use four separate keys per wheel. Might be a pain in the backside, but it would certainly slow people down.

Well, what i am saying is atm, I have the key lock nuts on all bolts on each wheel... so is it ok to have just 1 lock nut per rim and have the rest as normal 6-hex nuts?

you can get a set of mcguard lock nuts, they come in sets of 16/20..

they are each individual lock nuts and unless the thief has a key, i don't think they would bother to break each one.

thiefs are opportunists, lock nuts are there to deter them from stealing your rims, but if they really wanted to, they will get them regardless..

nothing stopping a thief from buying $30 of cheap sockets from sca, hammering them into the lock nuts and taking a $3000 set of rims.

A wheel lock enthusiast or wheel locking nut is a gadget accustomed to "lock" the edges on the vehicle. Having a locking mechanism enthusiast in position, it should be extremely difficult in order to impossible in order to grab the tires off of your vehicle. Regrettably, if you shed the key to the locking enthusiast, you won't be able to take it off without doing a bit of function. It might appear unbelievable, however carry nut products are extremely soft and if you have to, you are able to eliminate one of the wheels locking mechanism enthusiast through chiseling them back.

1: Place the cutting edge from the sculpt over the top from the steering wheel locking mechanism nut. Do not place the leading edge around the encounter from the securing nut. When you position the sculpt cutting edge, you're only going to chisel off the end of the securing enthusiast.

Two: Hit the end from the sculpt using the sludge hammer. Because lug nut products are soft, you should be able to effortlessly sculpt off the suggestion from the wheel lock enthusiast. You don't want to sculpt off more than the tip since you will finish upward striking the studs beneath that the steering wheel lock nut is actually threaded on.

3: Position the grade Eight secure within the end of the ripped steering wheel locking mechanism nut.

Four: Turn on the tig welder as well as let it warm up. Squeeze finish of the tig welder on the secure. Put your protecting encounter mask/shield over your eyes. Place weld the wheel lock enthusiast towards the grade 8 secure.

Five: Place the socket wrench and appropriately sized outlet within the end of the bolt.

Six: Put the buster club over the finish from the socket wrench as well as turn counterclockwise, and the bolt can come off combined with the wheel locking mechanism nut.

Hi there,

anyone know where I can find the correct lock nut spec''s for a Aurion ZR6 standard 17" Mag?

Will any M12 x1.5 do? Does it have to be a specific length and pitch?
