Thanks for the info guys! I should not have even bothered since I've bought Gorilla locks in the past and know how good they are. Defenetly the size info is a big help! Unlike other systems it's a unique key that no one else has. If you have another system if you ever go to a tire place and have them work on your car you don't even have to give them your key because they have them all. But Gorilla you definitely have to, the only thing is I'll have to look for a local retailer or at the very least online. The local place I've bought them from in the past does not sell them anymore. Does anyone know if advance,autozone,pepboys,napa, walmart ect sell them?

Someone listed finding them at their local PepBoys- I bought mine off Amazon.com They are on their way and cheap as dirt.

Amazon.com items (Sold by Amazon.com, LLC):

1 Gorilla Automotive 61641 A... $17.37 1 $17.37

I will come back and confirm "fit" when they arrive.

BTW, someone posted buying McGard Wheel Lock M14 x 1.5 Model 24210 which I bought (off ebay) a couple weeks ago.

They work but are way too long (about 1/2" longer than stock lug nuts) so I ordered the Gorilla.

Was that for 4, 20 or 24?

That's for the 4-pack. Getting the 20-pack seemed like total overkill.

True but see this post :

I bought a truck once that had a locking lug nut on one wheel and no matching key. I took it down to my brother-in-law at the local Les Schwab tire shop to see if they could get it off. He said no problem and started digging through a socket set. Confused, I asked him what he was doing. He said to just watch and grabbed a big f'n hammer and headed over to my truck. Then he just pounded the socket onto the locking lug nut until it was stuck. Next he grabbed a socket wrench and cranked on the lug nut until it came loose. Problem solved.

Just remember that you may have locking lug nuts but any determined thief can get it off with a little effort.

The System makes it harder & takes longer to steal your wheels - that's why I'm getting it.

No such thing as overkill. Besides, 5 lugs the same on each wheel will look better.

Can anyone tell me exactly what I need to order?

I want to give them a call and order their wheel locks. I understand that the size is 14mm x 1.50
But what other information do I need to tell them to make sure I get the right wheel locks for my car?

Thanks

I went with Gorilla Automotive 61641. those have a guard around the notches making it a little harder to defeat. They should be about the same size as the stock. I actually want them to be obviuously visible to deter people from even trying.

Tecca · 06-22-2009, 12:08 AM

I got this set at amazon for $58 bucks shipped. I know it is a set of 24 but it was cheaper to get a set of 24 than one of 20 plus I have four spare in case one gets dinged up.

They only have four left in stock so get them while there hot.
