    Gorilla Lug Nuts

    Looking at these locking lug nuts,

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/191421819993...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Just want to make sure that I'm buying an application that will fit my car, these will fit, correct?

    Also, since the lug nuts on our cars are open and these are obviously close, will the lug nut not go on all the way?

    These won't prevent a determined thief but it will take time to remove all 20 locks... a thief doesn't like to take a lot of time.

    These won't slow any half way decent thief down one bit , the keys are not hard to get , or an easy off universal lug nut remover , I've lost quite a few keys over the years.

    The point was well made by fbm....no need to imply his wording is maybe irrelevant in such a way .......have you tried to get "keys" to work--how much time does that take? what's "an easy off universal lug nut remover" ??? and saying "having lost a few keys over the years"" --what do you mean?--

    This site is to help inform and I have never heard of what you say--doesn't mean it doesn't of course--just looking for some explanation--

    Thanks

    What i mean is exactly what i said! My point is simple , locking lug nuts won't slow down anyone who wants your wheels. if you aren't familiar with something try looking it up , GOOGLE is your friend right

    WOW ... You're sounding like me..

    Maybe just a bad day or week I suppose

    Those lugs are sweet. I really like the black chrome. The next MM's getting a set of these.

    Yep. Just as much time as it takes to remove 20 lug nuts, no more no less.
    My kit came with a universal key (though it was defective - I had to dremel out 4 extraneous splines).
