locking lug nuts
Has anyone bought locking lug nuts? I hear some horror stories about different brands breaking. Also is 14mx2.0 the correct size for this rim?
Thanks.

I stopped using locking lugs years ago when I saw people were just jamming a socket onto the lug with a hammer and taking them off as easy as the normal lugs. Also most people keep them in the truck which means it can be misplaced easy, or stolen easy. It came down to more cost, and slight inconvenience of carrying the keys with all the time vs a slight increase in security of the wheels. Maybe things have changed and these are “higher tech” and can’t be bypassed so easily.

I suppose if they want them bad enough, nothing will stop them. Besides every other vehicle comes with 20" rims on it nowadays, so they're not all that special anymore.
