    1. I want good wheel locks but all wheel locks that i found can be removed with hammer and socket with breaker bar. Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEpG7p0arQw

    2. Overseas tires stolen more often, they have better locks. My body has mcgard "
    ULTRA LOCKING WHEEL NUTS"
    They can not be removed so easily due too rotating collar, when socked is jamed on the nut, the socket will grip on the "collar" that rotates freely. To remove this locks you will have to cut "collar" and that is more difficult and time consuming. Example:

    3. MCgard is American company but they do not make or sell this particulate locks in USA. (I called several times.)

    4. In Russia in auto store this locks sell for $60. Found them on Ebay for $70 from U.K.

    5. I did my homework and i think i found right size but since it's alot of money for wheel locks i don't want to make mistake so please check if i found right size.

    A. M12 x 1.5: Check!
    B. 21 mm: Check!
    C. tapered 60°: I think Check!
    D. Overall Length is 1 3/8" AKA 35 mm: Well difference is 2.5 mm or 3/32" so not a big deal, right?


    Did i forget anything? Thank you for help.

    What type of wheels are they going on? M12x1.5 is the correct thread pitch. Honestly, if someone really wants to steal the wheels, nothing will stop them. As long as you have full coverage insurance, you should be able to sleep at night.
