Have any IPL owners purchased gorilla guard locks?

Hey guys so I've seen countless amounts of G's on bricks. Just about three months ago I remember seeing a maxima around my neighborhood on milk crates. I've just purchased my ipl on Monday and looked into gorilla guard locks which seem to be one of the best wheel locks. I've dropped of my car to get clear bra and tints so I can't really check which ones I need. I did find a tool online which told me I needed the acorn seat type lug nuts. Has anyone with an ipl used gorilla guard wheel locks? Can someone help me verify that those are in fact the ones I need? Thanks for reading!

locks only slow them down a tiny bit. if they want the wheels they will already have the ways to get any off. pound a socket on the nuts is the best way. now a choice between 2 identical cars/wheels side by side one with locks and one without? different story.

Yeah. The locks I'm looking into have a free spinning sleeve so they wouldn't be able to pound it off. Just looking for the specific ones I need. I'd give them a difficult time rather than a freebie.

If you have the OEM Infiniti wheels they should have the flat shoulder seats in the wheel rather than the tapered conical seat of most aftermarket wheels. Just pull off one of your lugnuts to verify.

Possibly invest in a garage? I pay extra just for it at my apt. McGuard is a popular oem lock. Maybe two sets if you're that worried.

Yeah I have a garage but I'm worried about when I'm out. My car is at the shop atm so I can't check to make sure. Wanted to order them before I pick up the car so I have it ready to install. OEM's are relatively easy to get through though.
