What is the Best Wheel Theft Deterrent Lug Nut?

Todd's Picks

If you're looking to purchase wheel locks, there are probably at least four things you need to consider. The first two things to consider include the diameter and the thread pitch. For example, the "12" on the packaging indicates 12 millimeters, and the thread pitch is 1.5. They'll need to match the lug nuts that are being replaced. The thread depth of the wheel lock has to be deeper than the thread length of the stud. Finally, the diameter of the wheel lock has to offer a narrow enough profile to work with the wheel.
