What are your opinions on wheel locks? I would like to get a set to make any thieves think a little. I know it won't stop anyone determined but they dont cost that much.

Is anyone using aftermarket brands (gorilla, mcgard, etc.) on the sport package wheels? If so, where did you get them and how did you determine they would fit the wheels? I've read that gorill locks are good but I dont know how to figure out which ones would work with the 1.

Every 12-year-old booster on the street knows how to defeat them (EASILY)....about the same level of difficulty as The Club...

Ok, Ok. :)

So I take it that is one vote for not worth even the nominal fee.

Don't bother. The crooks that are looking to steal wheels target the dealerships not individual cars 99% of the time.

I had them on a Porsche. When I needed to change the tires years later I couldn't find the key !
