Do you use wheel locks? - Page 2

gatorfast · 02-04-2013, 09:52 PM

No wheel locks for me. Maybe im naive but I don't think the chance of my wheels being stolen is that great.

If my car came with them I would use them but since it didn't I don't feel the need to but them.

My M3 is parked in the garage every night. I don't use them. If you have to park outside, I would add them.

I leave out coffee and cake as well to really make it a special experience

Had them also on my old E46 and they only managed to unlock 2 until they eventually gave up.

That is hardcore right there.

Wheel locks = hassle. They end up hindering the owner of the car more than thieves. Ask any tire shop, people lose their keys all of the time. Maybe I'm a little sheltered, but I have only seen one car on blocks (with it's wheels stolen) in my entire life. The risk just isn't high enough to justify locks IMO.

Yes - RAD

chris s · 04-02-2013, 10:22 AM

ChrisK · 04-02-2013, 02:37 PM

Wish they came in black. I painted mine with hi-temp black paint. Have lasted many wheel changes so far.

McGuard Ultras... didn't realise there was a black version so unfortunately look a bit shiny on the grey oem 18s

Detroit M3 · 04-02-2013, 06:45 PM

Yup

Nope, garage kept and I'm rarely in N. Portland.

framistat · 04-09-2013, 10:31 PM

No problems for 8 years, now just had them save a set of wheels (they tried)!
