do u live in a bad area

 

good ****

 

What kind are they???

 

:banghead You're smart. haha

I learned that lesson the hard way on Memorial Day. Good bye draglites. Live and learn i guess. I still haven't bought new wheels.

 

a pair of vise grips i could have got them off, i had to do that to a buddy of mines car when he lost his key lol

 

how did u catch them?

 

I didnt, front end made noise, I pulled over (after about 100yards) I was missing 1 lug nut, and they were all loose, except for the locking ones.

I'm sure if you got the car to a shop, and worked them over for a while, you could get them off, but usually if someone wants your wheels, they dont take your car to a shop to steal them.

Lind, how would you get the ones with the collar off?

have fun with your vise grips

 

same thing my buddy had on his car, wasnt an issue lol

 

i've taken those off of cars at work before...

they make a tool to take off locking lugnuts when you lose the "key"

 

damn people. Good thing you got the lug nuts. I had some on my gt. Alot better than the other ones posted. It was thinner around the outside of the lug, and the inside was just teeth. There was no actual lug, so it would be a hell of alot harder to try and steal em. Cant find a pic tho

 

yeah if you have time at a shop you can take any of them off....

 

i have heard find a socket and weld through the square hole on the back of it to take em off before....itll cost you 4 sockets tho

 

So you just put 1 locking lug nut on each tire? what happens if you dont notice and they took off all the other nuts? lol j/k

Thats a smart idea though i may have to get some. Also im glad to hear ya didnt get anything stolen!

 

welded the inside of the collar to the inside nut/key and welding a vise grips to the outside of the collar, he was getting new rims for his car so he bought 4 new lock nuts for all 4 wheels so we just got the other ones off, didnt matter if we ruin'd them

 

OK just checking, cause I wanted to make sure it couldn't be done in my driveway, without my noticing.

 

with the ones on my car you might be able too, mine doesnt have the moveable collar, its just attach to it and if you put a vise grips on the collar you can get them off probably

 

I have the same gorillanut except mine doesn't have that collar on the outside/shell. Someone messed with my wheels somehow. The ride wasn't bad until the ride home. I heard a noise like my exhaust dropped; however, the car didn't drive any differn't. I then decided to make the trip home. Then my wheel decided to fall off.

 

damn thats shitty lol

 

So every set you get has a different "key" pattern?
It might be good to get several sets and have two or three on each wheel

 

 

THose wont fit inside the collar.

~Remove them instantly with your impact wrench!

...Because a lot of thieves run around with impact wenches

 

Sucks man....I'm actually headed to Pep Boys here in a little bit to get new lockers for mine. My stock ones are shot. Stock lockers are good but the rest of them are shot...

This is exactly what I'm hoping Pep Boys has! If they don't, I'll use this link - Thanks man!

 

actually i've never had an impact work with those...

they only work for me if i use a regular ratchet to make sure they grip hard enough

i know those dont work with the collared ones...

just showing how easy some are to get off.

the collared ones are hardest to get off but definitely do-able if you're determined enough, which the average rim thief isn't.

 

I guess the idea is to make you rims harder to take than the ones on the car next to yours

 

i know a guy with 8 sets of rims that are all hot because people didnt have lock nuts lol

 

you need new friends

 

never said he was a friend lol, just said i know a guy
