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.

yeah any 12x1.5 will do, it just depends on your wheels whether they take tapered/shank style

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
