I just got ahold of some aftermarket wheels. I need a good set of wheel locks. Any advice would be appreciated.

Mike,
In addition to the advice, such as it is that I pm'd to you, here's more- whether you buy McGard or Gorilla Locks (the two biggest brands), when you send in your post card to register you lock serial number, take advantage of the reduced price in ordering a second key. Keep one key in your car, and the spare in your tool box with your metric sockets. If you ever need service at a tire shop or dealer, and THEY lose your key (not unheard of), you have a spare.

I have always used McGard, with no rust/corrosion issues, and I HAVE had to order a replacement key from my serial number. Service from their New York headquarters was fast. I assume that Gorilla is just as good.

manxman,
Thanks for the input. I was looking up all kinds of available wheel locking options. I couldn't wait any longer. I decided that I just needed to get something on right away, so I went out and got a set of Gorilla locks tonight.
