LOL...you only need to put one locking nut on each wheel.

They're certainly no guarantee, but considering the cost and level of effort, it's a no-brainer.

16x 12x1.5 ball seat locks = part # 38432N
The part # above is for a set of 16 locks.... 4 per wheel.. with shipping it was around $55 usd.

I put 3 of the Gorilla's on each wheel, and left the 1 OEM lock, since it's so visible, and I had bought those first.... if I'd known, I would've never bought the OEM's... anyone wanna buy em...

Those are the OEM lugs in the Gorilla bag...

Damn, that set of sixteen Gorilla wheel locks is a "monstrous" value. I'll be ordering that set. Visually and mechanically, I think they put the OEM wheel locks to shame. Anybody need a set of slightly used OEM wheel locks CHEAP, LOL?

Yeah, I wished I knew about them before I bought the OEM's I probably would have never bought the Honda ones...

I should sell mine too...

Got my Gorilla Locks today... as others have said, they are more recessed than the OEM lugs, so that gives me some piece of mind... much harder to attempt to vice-grip them.

These are a fantastic value considering they include 16 lugs! I ended up putting 2 on each wheel of the Fit Sport (8 total), and then 1 one each of my CR-V wheels plus the rear spare (5 total). That leaves me with an extra 3 lugs in case I loose one.

I also ordered an extra 'key' for the CR-V for $8.50 shipped.

Lastly, I will be drilling a hole into the keys, and using a combination lock to engage them against some metal bracket in the car... my only concern is that if a thief does break into the car attempting to find the key to steal my wheels, they will be SO PISSED they will likely destroy my car interior/exterior out of sheer frustration!

I have 3 sets of locks on my fit, a little excessive but necessary in these times. The thieves come in the middle of the night so you have to prepare.
