I originally bought the Gorilla 4 lock set. When I found out they had the 20 lock set I bought that. Each wheel now has one of the original locks and four of the new set. I know a real thief can get them off but this will slow him down a little.

Well, that's it. We do what we can. Nothing is theft proof.

Even the guys that fork out all that change for Lojack get their cars stolen all the time around here. The thieves use a signal sniffer to locate it, yank it out and stomp on it, then drive away with your car. Lojack is kind of a joke here at the Mexican border.

Will need this soon. I see amazon and bay sell them. Is that the best to get them? Anyone know if any of the brick and mortar shops sell them like advanced auto parts, etc?

maybe, but first I'd go to gorilla's website, find out which part number you need and then if advance or locals don't have it call up summit racing or some such place. some vendors on here may even carry them.

I found the 4 piece set with the sleeves on the auction site. I paid $20 and that included the shipping. The seller I bought from has some more sets at that price. Look for part # 61631

Interesting. According to the fitment guide here :

http://www.gorilla-auto.com/pdf/GAG12.pdf

and looking at my lugs, they are Acorn Bulge, 12 x 1.50 which are Gorilla P/N 91733

The P/N 71633N don't have the buldge after the taper seat. I don't know if it matters, but when I match my OEM lugs up to the fitment guide, they have an obvious buldge on them.

Amazon.com has a set of 20 for $31 with free shipping.
