Best Car Wheel Theft Deterrent Lug Nut?

[AzScorpion]

Another great video from Project Farm! I always knew and heard most of these locking lug nuts were worthless but yikes, some are way worse that I thought. There's only one good one so if you're looking for a set it's worth it to spend a little extra $$.

I thought if you kept the regular lug nuts slathered in 303 the lug wrench would just slip off...not able to get a good grip !!!

I did go to the Advanced Wheel Lock web site, and they do offer them in black finish for the Rangers, $90 bucks, but than $30 bucks extra if you want a spare key...oucheee !!!
Another $8.30 for shipping...almost $130.00....still cheaper than a wheel/tire set, but much more expensive than a round of 12 gauge 00 buckshot.

Yeah but how much are your wheels/tires worth? Most will spend hundreds on a fancy digital keypads for their house yet cheap out on good locks for their wheels. I'm guilty of this too. ?‍

Great video, noice find!

Those advance wheel locks are pretty good. I've never bothered with traditional locks because they are so easily defeated. Most wheel thieves know all the tricks and have the basic cheats, not often an unprepared thief or crime of opportunity.

Add $29 for shipping to Canada and exchange, it's just over $200 for me with an extra key.

After watching the review's, I'm actually thinking of getting a set as we're on the road in different areas of the country when traveling and ya never know what the areas are like when it comes to theft's, ect.
Would be a pain to go out in the morning to hook up the trailer and find the Ranger up on blocks...
When you come right down to it, $130 isn't too bad...we spent more than that just taking our friends out for dinner for their anniversary.

I would seeing as you're traveling a lot and like you said this would ruin your day. When I bought my Ranger the dealer had already installed the cheap Ford wheel locks on it. I was going to take them off today when I go to the body shop to get my stuff. After watching this video I won't waste my time. lol

Dave, I went with the Gorilla black set with keyed socket locks. Later I found out thieves could use vice grips or pound on a socket to get the locking one off. Since I got mine they came out with this type for locking. The outside collar spins free so the methods I posted for thieves getting them off no longer work. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2755497222...9cZK1SNT2C&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Add 5 sets of McGard 64015 black lugs nuts and I've spent $360 since opening this thread..... Thanks Dave!

I'm more concerned with my taillights than my wheels. Then again, I just have the factory wheels, so not really worth much.

Wheel locks have always kept me from taking my own wheels off easily. I always misplace the key

Do thieves still steal wheels? I thought now they just stole the car instead.
