    wheel locks

    when i bought my new tire/wheels i had to use the lug nuts that came with them (different size from the stock wheels' lug nuts)

    how do i know if my wheel lock would fit onto those lug nuts?

    only reason I think you change lugnuts is because some have a different bevel on the part that touches the wheel. if it has that same bevel it'll work, if not it's probably best to get a new set that fits. unless you just got shorter lug nuts, thread doesn't change

    And a little info on wheel (lug) locks...some of those wheel locks arent durably made and you have to really make sure the key for the wheel lock fits the lock pattern or else you'll start stripping the lock if it slips....thats what happened with my $50 lug locks and I ended up having to get them drilled out at $5 a piece....just more of a pain than anything...
