wheel lock and an update

Hey, as some of you know I bought a '94 last week(and I love it). I've put about 1600miles on it since then and its been running great. I still need to get a few parts and tune it, but other than that I have no complaints.

However, I can't seem to find the lock for my wheels. I have a spare and I have the information on the wheel lock, I guess in case you need to order another one. Is that my only option? Any info would be great. Thanks guys.

I just ordered a new set of wheel locks and a key from Ray. You have to buy the locks and key as a set. Only $30...

Try Gorilla lug nuts, you can get them from summit racing. Each nut is a lock, so you have 20 locks instead of just 4. I can't remember the thread/pitch offhand, i think it is 1.25 by something, someone else can post to help out

I'd go w/ the gorilla locks. There have been a series of thefts in the DC area recently where people just buy 4 of the same socket, hammer it onto the locknut on each wheel then just remove the rest of the lugnuts with a normal socket/tire iron.

The way I look at it is this - if a theif is going to carry 20 of the same socket around in his bag and spend all that time hammering away w/o waking me up then ****, you deserve my rims. My homeowners covers them anyway.

Just my $.02

Have you checked the storage area in the trunk? Raise the hatch, and there's a cover on the right side where the jack and handle is. There's a matching cover on the left side where the lock is stored if it was original.
