they broke my wheel locks

wheel works said they will get me new subaru ones

its weird because one looks rusted and they both look like they broke at the same point

 

its seems like 1/4 of wheel locks require a socket to be welded on when they break/strip...they suck and i will never buy them again, not that i bought the ones i mangled.

I guess you can say buy better ones next time, or dont drive around with your $2000 wheelset

 

but i loved my subaru mcgard wheel locks

 

but thats the pattern that thieves walk around with on their "master" of wheel keys. If they want them they will get them i think.

I dont think its a "if they see the locks, they will avoid your car and find another car with rays volks ssr giovanni 29.5s etc" kinda thing.

its cool your getting a new set, like you should

 

get 4 sets and mix them all up so you have 4 wheel locks on each wheel and there are 4 different keys needed....that should deter anyone from screwing with your car....just hope you dont need to change wheels in a hurry :rotfl:

 

haha that was what i was thinking 2 of the same in the front and 2 of the same in the back

 

nah, random order FTW. Once they find the key that works, they'll try it on the next one. if you have random ones everywhere theyll just get frustrated

 

LOL frustrated? crooks? low life scum bags?....yeah youre right

 

I have the Subaru McGard wheel locks. My aunt got them like 10 years ago... Still works...

 

I once had to remove 4 wheel locks without the key, 5 minutes later and a man who can weld and all 4 were free.....

 

car without wheel locks > car with 16 random wheel locks

in a douchebags eyes that is

 

ROFL! i thought you meant 4 sets...so you mean like a group buy where 4 car owners buy 4 sets for each car, then exchange them until everyone ends up with 16 different nuts and keys?!?! LOL too bad 5 lug would take even more searching for different key patterns, i dont even know if they make 20 different patterns!

 

or just 25 different sets of wheel locks..so there are no lugs. everything is a lock. good luck rotating tires on that setup haha

 

I did mean 4 different sets, 16 wheel locks, 4 keys, used randomly, thieves will hopefully give up....and you'll hopefully never get a flat

 

wheel works is total trash, had them wreck my custom cobra r's and deny it like punks, and put my ps2 back on the wrong way
