Wheel locks are a waste of money. Anyone with $10-15 can go to Sears or probably Harbor Frieght now and buy what I believe are called "gator sockets." Basically you just pound one of those over any wheel lock or stripped bolt and it will come off with ease. One small tap with a small hammer and then just remove the nut or wheel lock like you had the correct socket.





Well the kind of criminal who would steal rims isnt a big time criminal. The small tiem crook is not going to waste time or money to defeat the lcok when he/she can simply move on to the next car without the lock.
