Spare tire lugs

[SeptuagenarianSasquatch]

Lots of YouTubes on theft deterrance out there, not to mention threads on this and other sites. I think the O.P. has a decent setup already, YMMV. I bought the Advancedlocks.com. About $125 for five plus your key, I think they're worth it.

I don't think we need to rehash wheel locks, though. Just my experience: I park on the street in a city not famous for its law enforcement. So far, no attempts.

I would stick an allen key in there and spin them off

They are down inside that lug well, so a bit difficult to get something on them and get some leverage to get some torque on them to unseat them.

An Allen or Torx fitting on a breaker bar or impact gun; an EZ out. Or go to a big tire place like Discount, they often have various keys around, just shove a few bucks in the guy’s pocket (or buy a locking kit from them at the same time).

Just make sure you order a spare lug nut if you order the Advanced Wheel Locks. You can't order a duplicate later. Otherwise if you lose one, you'll have to order an entirely new set. They can make duplicate keys if you have the number. They can't make duplicate lug nuts. I ordered six and a spare key when I bought mine.

Thanks, I going to try removing one today and maybe order some replacements and a lock. Any suggestions on a lock? I wish Ford would have made all the wheel holes lug nut capable. It would be a much more finished look.

I’m waitlisted for these to come back in stock. Not cheap but they look harder to defeat than most.

Now you tell me!

I’ve been using McGuard wheel locks since 1981. Still made in the USA.
