    I searched for this (maybe I suck at searching) and couldn't find any info.
    Any recommendations for wheel locks for 1st gens with stock wheels?
    TIA!

    You're looking for m12 x 1.5 "Mag" style wheel locks.

    Did someone try to take your stock wheels?

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Wheel lock nuts will keep honest people honest!

    So often vehicles showed up with lost lug nut keys.

    I am not saying how but they are simple to remove in the field .

    Nothing like a service call for a flat tire ask the woman with the vehicle where is the key to remove this special lock lug nut.. She Calls who ever the key is at home in the tool box an hour away.

    Locking lug nuts suck. Don’t waste your money
    If a thief wants your wheels or tires, they will get them. Still can’t believe stealerships get people to add them on to their new cars with stock wheels

    the “keys” are readily available and it’s a guarantee that wheel and tire thieves have a tool to pop them off no problem.

    Yea. Don't bother.

    Wheel locks deter kids who are clueless. Which I suppose could be good.

    But someone who really craves your package won't be bothered, because they won't use the key to remove them.
