Question Wheel locks?

Okay, I'm looking to protect my somewhat costly investment of Procomp wheels and tires with some wheel locks, any idea where to pick them up and how to pick the right sizing?

Wheels - Procomp Series 7005 20"
Tires - Procomp 35" 12.5 r20

Weel Locks

Check at wheel or tire shop. In my area, BC Canada, can get set of wheel locks for 30-60 bucks. Give the tire/wheel shop your year and model and they will know what size you need.

They will be the same size as your lug nuts. The wheel store will know what you need. They come four to the package, you use one on each wheel. There is a special socket to be used on the lock nuts.

I have Gorilla Spline Drive sets on my car and truck. They are about $30-$40 or so, but every single lug nut is a lock and it takes a special key for them (not one you can just go pick up in a store). Much safer than just a single locking lug nut. Summit Racing carries them.


I think this is the set I got for my truck.

But here are the different sets Summit has: http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...115+4294919065
Just find out the seat style and thread size you need (the seat style will depend on the wheel and the thread size on the truck). You will want the standard locking set, and probably black to match your wheels.

IIRC, most Ford lug threads are 1/2-20RH.

I have the Gorilla as well, but just one on each wheel.
