    Wheel/Lugnut Lock Question

    Because I just got on new rims now, I'm worried about their security now. There are 5 lugnuts that attach the rim to the wheel chaisse. All 5 are cylindrical with a hexagonal shape inscribed within it. So you would need a "key" that fits the hexagonal shape in order to unscrew a lugnut.

    I just happened to compare stock rims with mine and most stock rims I've seen have a lock or cover that covers the hexagonal hole. I was wondering if I would need something like that to cover/protect my lugnuts in order to prevent any person from stealing my rims... yeah I'm paranoid :? Cuz right now, I think any person with a hexagonal shape tool could just unscrew the lugnuts and take them off. Am I just being paranoid or is this something I should really get?

    If that's the case, then where could I get some lugnut covers? Any recommendations or suggestions?

    Thanks!

    You're not being paranoid. When you make a huge investment, you should protect it like you said. I've heard gorilla lugs work great.
