lug nuts and keys

Any one know where i can get lug keys and bolts so my lug nuts will be impossible to take off without a key (suppose a theif wants to steal my rims but cant due to no key)

i m trying to get two to three different keys and nuts for each rims.

Well, I was just looking into the same thing. Got some new Roja 17's and wanted them protected. Got Motegi's black spline tuner lugs, which are the most difficult to remove (for the thieves at least). Probably will get McGard locks for each rim and paint them black to match. Even though they are so available now, them thieves have those now.

2 to 3 sets is a bit excessive, and tire shops will hate u. One good set would be perfectly fine.

i know you can get them at ur dealer, may be a little expensive though. I had them on my car when I bought it and the f****rs didnt give me a key and when I found out when I was gonna paint my calipers but couldn't. anyways the key was $15(in the process f getting refunded hopefully) and I dont know how much a set would cost. I know that pep boys and autozone sell them (probaby cheaper).

thats where i got my gorilla nuts. the company is AWESOME, and their shipping it lightning quick (had a decent sale when i bought mine too). gorilla has them in all colors, shapes, sizes, so you should be able to find what you want

i got these black ones: http://www.brandsport.com/grla-91137bc.html
and of course some locks (3 lugs and 1 lock per wheel)

honestly I have worked in a tireshop for three years, and I havent heard of one single person getting their wheels stolen. This is in cincy so it may be diff where u live, but really if a theif sees one set of locking lugs, hes not gonna try. otherwise I know u can get them at like tire discounters, they can order them from a wheel company.
