Chrome Locking Lugnuts

I had a set of the Gorilla brand and they woked fine. The only problem I had is that the hex size for the key was different from the size of the lug nuts. In addition to the factory lug wrench, we had to keep a different tool in the car to remove the lockers. This may not apply to Gorilla locks on every vehicle but it's something to watch out for.

IMO locking lugnuts are a Waste of money and potentially dangerous as they are known to strip and then you are srewed. ANy theif that steals rims will have a Stripped lugnut remover that will remove lock nuts just as fast as a regular lugnut, thus proving it pointless. Plus the ones I had stripped after about three uses and thus I needed a Lock nut remover. This Could be dangerous if you get a flat in the wrong weather, on the highway, in a dangerous area, etc.
Here is a Lock nut remover for about 5 bucks online:
