Default Wheel Locks

Just got my 2012 Eco FX4. Once I get a chance I am going to pot some pics of this sweet ride, nicest vehicle I have ever owned by far.

With that said, in the few days I have had the vehicle I feel it is lacking 3 things

1) Tinted Front Windows (coming this week)

2) Bed Liner (working on it)

3) And last, I cat believe it didnt come with locking wheel lug nuts...

Before this I had a 2010 Mustang GT that didnt have wheels that cost anything near what I am guessing these 20 inch wheels and tires prolly cost....

Can anyone suggest a good set of locking lugs that dont look terrible and also work well?

McGard locks.

Congrats on the new rig. I just clicked off the 1700th mile on mine and I love it.

I got a flyer from my Dealership for the first oil change which includes a 10% discount on Ford Accessories (see wheel locks above) - I'm planning on getting a set myself! And perhaps a set or two of the retractable cargo bed hooks from Bull Accessories too.

i wouldnt go with the ford locks.... i just picked them up yesterday i also have a fx4 with the 20's the locks 6L3Z-1A043-AA stick out of the wheel so far that they are pointless because you could easily get a pair of pliers around the lock and take them off. I mean i understand that wheel locks basically just stop the honest thief but i dont think these things would deter anyone trying to yank your rims... so I am also looking for a good wheel lock....

wheel locks are a complete waste of money, any thief can buy the whole set of keys from an autoparts store for like 20$. The only thing its gonna do is **** you off when you lose it and get a flat, lol!

For $50 to $60 it will deter a lot of dumb thieves. A little security is better then no security. JMO

Glock makes a great wheel lock and my back up system I call Bruno [Rotwiler] works good also

Wheel locks dont work all you have to do is get a small socket and hit it on then u can take it off
