Didn't you just start a wheel lock thread yesterday?

OEM locks are McGard.
Gorilla is a different design than OEM and should keep your wheels a bit more safe.

Volk Formula Lugs for security they are FTW!

Real pain the a$$ for me and mechanic since each lug is a lock with a screw on cap.

I don't live in the hood so I think MacGrad is good enough.

Are you guys serious, volk formula lugs are the worst friggin lugs i ever had.

Sure theyre design is the most secure ive seen having the 7sided lock and the caps, but theyre this crappiest quality ever, youre lucky if you dont strip the key out, either one.

I agree! They're nice and everything but once u turn the key a tad too tight u have a high chance of stripping the caps thread. They're just too fragile for the price their asking for.

Really? Did you strip the 7 sided key? I know some broke the allen key because of the plastic handle but I think as long as you don't over tighten, you'd be ok. Prices for them have also gone up by almost $100 too, ridiculous

Oh wow, thanks. Gotta be more careful with mine now. Or sell it and make 5 bucks since it's priced higher now, haha.

Who says car mods only depreciate

For the people that have stripped their keys, did they use a torque wrench when tightening the lugs?
