well I am getting ready to leave for college in about one week and the main thing that I have been concerned about is my car! I am going to be at George Mason University and there are a lot of people up there and I'm pretty sure someone would love to snag the wheels off of my car (something I definitely do NOT want to happen)!!! I have a lug nut lock on there that i bought from the local Advanced Auto Parts but I know those are universal considering when I purchased my tired, they sent me the wrong lug nut set (not a thin-wall set) and I was wondering where I could get a good lug nut set with a decent lock for my 18" Drifz 505B Nos 18x7.5 wheels.

bad idea, i am definately not going to be working my first semester for sure. i already am paying for this car 253 a month for the next 3 years, so i am in no position financially to do that. small security like enhanced car alarm with the key fob and a new lug nut set are a must

haha if they really wanted your wheels they would get them. there are ways around lock keys. all you have to do is hammer a socket smaller than the lock lug and bam your wheels are gone. Lug keys do help to deter people from stealing but its never fool proof.
