Want to have some fun? Expand that to 16 locks... making EVERY lock different.

Man-o-man, "simple" tire rotations will be mightmares!

Lol. I was just thinking. What if NASCAR had different locks on the racecars. Now that will definitely cause the race. Although that is retarded and irrational.

No worries with NASCAR wheels. They have sponsors to buy new ones...

Yeah I dont really have any faith in locking lug nuts, not if people are determined enough to get the wheels. Good thing is this guy got new shoes and the window repaired and is back on the market.

The dealer I bought from said he had one guy have his wheels stolen off the car between arrival at the dealer and delivery to the customer. Customer thought the sales guy was lying to him, drives down to the dealer, goes out back and comes back going "I thought you were full of baloney, but the wheels are definitely gone ..." Of course the dealer ultimately got him new wheels after a wait (they carry insurance of course).

Inscribing the VIN# inside the wheels is a good ide asuggested elsewhere on this forum; but I read another place online today the best deterrent: park on a hill.
