I have the Gorilla locks and I hate them. Let me explain. When I originally got my CCW Classics they came with the locks. All lugs are locks, not just one per wheel. They aren't very rusty after many years, just a little on the edges but it isn't noticeable when they are in the lug holes. However I find them annoying to use the tool when removing and installing the wheel. And you've got 20 when removing all wheels. But I figure they'll slow down someone trying to steal my wheels if it should happen. I don't think any wheel locks are fool proof but I think the Gorillas are probably one of the better ones. The slight rusting isn't an issue. I would recommend them if you are going to want locks.

Why would someone steal your stock wheels? Let them and claim insurance for big bucks reimbursement.

I had the stock spare stolen off of my Wrangler. And the thieves had to really work to get it, as I was backed op to my house with only a couple of inches of room to work.

People will steal anything.

Gorillas on mine for 3 years and no rusting issues. I dislike the locks with the male/female imprint. Then tend to slip too easy. Dealer really f'ed up the wheels on my 4Runner with those lock, hence the Gorilla's.
