Wheel locks

If not...what is a good one to go with?

Should be good enough. Honda wheel likes come in 12 different varieties, doesn't matter much as most theives will have a key to pretty much any wheel lock on the market.

the wheel locks will not stop a skilled and determined thief with the right tools. however, if you can slow him down and make him work harder, he might give up and move on to a softer target.

although i live in a low crime area, i'm paranoid about getting my wheels jacked while on a trip. so i splurged and bought the set of 16 gorilla locks. i'll put them on this weekend.

here's an idea: keep the wheel lock key in the car, but put a bike lock, gun lock, or some other lock through the key. that way, even if the thieves do bust in and find the key, the key is useless until they figure out a way to get the lock off of it.

Thats a good idea. I'll have to see if I can find a lock that will fit. I've got a few laying around somewhere. As long as I can find the key if I get a flat.

for 55 bucks (shipped) from summit racing, the set of 16 gorilla locks seemed like a decent deal. i'm not really sure how bad i needed them, but it scares the crap out of me to see all the pictures on this website of fits on cinder blocks or even sitting bare on the pavement after the wheels were stolen. i absolutely do not want that to happen to me.
