All you need is a six pt socket and a hammer to defeat wheel locks. I know this form working in auto repair and having to get wheel locks off that the cust didnt leave the key for.

Oh BTW those wheels look good an my MACH. J/K

what about gorilla system locks? i dont see how a 6 point socket would work since the lugs are completely round with the exception of a few cuts for the key...

sorry that happened man, i bet those were nice wheels. chrome?

ImpactStang · 09-20-2005, 01:12 AM

sux to hear man, not to make it worse but those will be on another stang in under two days, people price to move...but ill keep my eyes and ears open, somehow i always hear about rims for sale even though i already have some...

My friend was driving down the block and one of this Saleens rolled out from under his car.. All 4 wheels only have the locking lug... He was pissed but happy that they where still all there... Gorrilla Nuts seem to work the best..
Keep us posted

Locking lugs help, but, like anything else, if someone REALLY wants them, they are going to be able to get them.

With that in mind, you might all consider something I read a while back. It would be a good idea to write or type up four pieces of paper with your name, phone number, and driver's license number. Ask the person who finds that piece of paper to check that the same information was presented by the person that brought the car in for service, and, if it was not, to call the police immediately as the wheels and tires (and possibly vehicle!) are stolen.

Place each piece of paper in a zip-loc bag and tape it to the wheel before the tires are mounted. If it comes loose eventually it will not matter.

It may not do anything, but it MIGHT. If the police locate stolen property, it should be returned to you...

If you are really hardcore, you could engrave or die stamp your DL number in the wheels so that you could always prove that they are yours.
