Poll! What wheel locks are people using for stock 19's

Just got a brand new 09 Premium/Nav/Sport and I searched the threads (this is so no one yells at me... still a newbie..) but couldn't find what people are using for wheel locks ... I looked at the Gorilla... Any suggestions.. and yes I know this will only slow them down but hopefully it will slow them down enough for them to catch a .45 !<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

One of the posters had a great idea for me to do a poll.. So lets take a poll as to what wheel locks people are using be it OEM or aftermarket like Gorilla.. <!-- / message --><!-- attachments -->

In your original post, you said you searched. Might I suggest you work on your search techniques.

This has been asked and answered. The only wheel lock available to fit the OEM 19 inch alloys is the Nissan/Infiniti lock made for Nissan/Infiniti by McGard. McGard has not released this lock under a separate McGard part number. It is only available from Nissan/Infiniti.

Thanks for the McGard part.. Now as far as my search Technique maybe you as the EXPERT can tell me that when I input "wheel Locks" and "wheel security" and "etc" so how should I search for it.

Putting in "wheel locks" gets you both "wheel" and "locks"; a large number of posts. Putting in "locks" gets you a page and a half; one of which will be https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...lock-info.html which should answer your question.

Most locks are not that effective

I use the one's provided by the dealer. If you park on the street overnight, then you'll regrettably be exposed to thieves with the following:

Not sure if any lock will protect you with these removers.
