Wheel Locks/Lugs

I am looking at pulling the trigger on some silver RTR's and was wondering were a good place to buy some quality wheel locks/lugs that will match or go with the silver?

American muscle.

Don't bother with locking lug nuts, just put extreme lock tite on all the bolts before you put the nuts on.

You've really started trying too hard. There can only be one troll on this forum, and it's Joe. So why don't you just give up and post normal.

I would, but doing this is much better than doing my work that is due tonight.

I've lived on this planet for 42 years and I've never seen a car on blocks with the wheels gone. Lol sounds like a lot work in the amount of time you would think they have. Wouldn't it be easier to just steal the car?

Guy at a friend's apt complex had his brand new wheels stolen and his Charger left on curb chunks. Wheel locks for me.

I wouldn't worry about wheel locks. They can be taken off without their key just about as fast as regular lug nuts.

Wheel Locks source

Here is a Ford website that has Wheel locks from your local dealer
www.ford.com/cars/mustang/accessories/

Good luck in your search, in my area of Southern California we unfortunately do have a lot of stolen tires and wheels, not the whole car.

I have seen plenty of cars sitting on blocks or their rotors, even happened to a friend of mine. I would never own a car without wheel locks no matter where I live.

I went out and got a set of McGard locks, they are the same company that makes the official Ford wheel lock set. I found them at a local auto parts store and I believe amazon carries them.
