Why do you need locking lugs? My opinion they are a PITA. You concerned someone will steel your wheel - profile doesn't say where you are located?

That is true, you can just pound a cheap socket on them too. With my old cars that I set up to demo that's what I do, it breaks locking lugs from the 70's loose! Sorry to say but it will only slow them down. If a thief wants something bad enough they will find a way to get it.. Sad truth.. No respect.

When I got new wheels and tires for my X, discount tire put Gorilla locks on my truck. They look great! Finding other locking lugs for the right length studds on the excursion is very tough. Check out Gorilla I know they make them! I have to say that if someone wants them say goodbye, I know from personal experience that using a 17mm 12 point socket will take most splined lug nuts( like the gorilla lugs) right off. I had someone break in and steal my lug key on another car I had and to get my wheels off for the winter I had to use the before mentioned method. It's sad but it does work....Good luck!

Yep, lottsa people lose their keys but always find a way to get the wheels off which is exactly what thieves do. It's their job 
I would look into another parking place, they might steal the whole truck.

My thoughts exactly. Thieves see new wheels and tires and that's an instant eye catcher. That also leads them to believe there is more to the truck they can make a quick buck on. My Negibor had his window busted out on a 95 ranger just to steal a 50.00 headunit and 5.00 worth of change.
