You only need 1 locking lug on each rim. You don't need every lug a locking one. Unless you are like overally **** about your rims getting stolen.

Where on long island do you live? Must be Gordon Heights. LOL playing around. Prob not going to get wheel locks going to change rims and tires. Going with the black center with chrome or polished lip. Also where did you buy your SS from. I got mine from RAMP chevy.

Well at least they had the courtesy to put it on blocks lol.
I'm not concerned at all about someone stealing my wheels. I have insurance. Plus, I live in Huron, Ohio where the biggest thing that cops worry about is if you park facing the wrong direction or have your stero up too loud. I wonder who's had those problems?

Heater block isn't standard in BC. Well not in the lower mainland. Then again, we don't need it anyways.

Get the locking nuts guys. Even if someone knows how to bypass the locking nuts you are still deterring the other would-be thieves. Better to have something than nothing at all.

.. This weekend me and my dad drove up to a friends place in Washington to do some wakeboarding, about halfway we got a flat tire, we did all the instructions and such then when it came to the last bolt it was a round thing with a weird pattern in it, we sat their for like 1/2 thinking wtf it could be, called the dealer and he said their is a set of special attachement screws that are in the dash.. so thats my story

When i got my new rims all my bolts were torque bolts. I have never seen these before anyone else, I got a special tool to take them off with.
