Default More questions concerning TT D's......LOCKS

Ok, I just got my awesome set of Torque Thrust D wheels, I LOVE them!

However, the company that sold them to me, don't sell lug locks for the wheels, they don't recommend them because once you lose the key, you are in big trouble.

I still want to get a set of locks.

I believe you get duplicate keys, I'll be very careful and place them in a very secure place, one key in my home, and the other hidden inside the car.

Any places you guys recommend getting locks from, for my wheels, links?

Another thing, what the best way to maintain and clean my wheels?

Thanks guys!

Thanks man, I ordered a set of Acorn Gorilla locking lug nuts.

The kit comes only with one key, but once you get the package, you can order through the Acorn Goriila company an extra set of keys (as many as you want), just submit the recorded CODE from your kit.

It's a highly recommended idea to get extra set of keys, one to keep hidden inside the car, and another securely stored in your house, that way if you lose one, you have a back up.

Thanks again!

My Mach came with one lug on each wheel that requires a special tool to get it off. I keep it in the glovebox. Haven't lost it yet.

FWIW, I tossed my locks on all my vehicles because the only person is slows down is the owner IMO. To remove one of those "lock", all you have to do is smack a deep socket over the bolt and twist it off. They even sell special sockets designed just for such a purpose.

Make them work for it, better than having NO locks at all, at least the thieves will be making some kinda noise.

Please don't ask me how I know this but most people have mutliple locks sitting in thier tool kits, and most tire/wheel places do the same thing, and now with one of those gator type lugs anything can happen if given the time and desire to take them, you could always get like 6 sets of the locks and put them all on, I'd love to see a thief trying to steal those wheels!!!!
