Re: Good Wheel Locks

     I have owned a set of the McGard wheel lock bolts for the past 8 years 
     and I am very happy with them.  I bought them at Wolfsport.  They are 
     a set of 4 bolts that are flat except for a flower looking design cut 
     into the face that accepts a special key to remove the bolt.  All of 
     the sets are keyed differently.  They have been very durable but I 
     only remove and install them by hand using a 4-way lug wrench to apply 
     equal torque to the entire keyway.    
     
     I have a friend who has the Eurolocks.  They seem OK but they are 
     basically only metal covered plastic caps that use a key to tighten 
     down on one of the lug nuts.  It seems to me that someone with a big 
     pair of pliers or hammer could remove them if they really wanted your 
     wheels.
     
     Hope this helps,
     Greg Coombs

Hey,
    I am in need of some wheel locks (lug style). The ones that came on my
Corrado from the factory were stripped by a dealer, and when I went to 
replace them with OEM locks, they suggested that I opt for some aftermarket 
ones as the VW ones weren't all that great, and tended to strip fairly 
often. I know RPI advertises euro-locks but am not sure what other 
alternatives are out there. Any suggestions?-G
