Locking Lug Nuts

[John85]

Does anyone know where I can get locking Lug Nuts for my Smart Car? I tried the Dealer, and every parts or accessories store that I drive by. I even call he Smart HQ. No one has them. Someone has tried twice this year to take my tires.

Sorry someone's trying to rip off your wheels. I saw a post by a member with some for sale:

Is that the going price? Seems typically overinflated dealer price. I see Smart Madness has them for $94.99. I want to buy three sets of four. I'm an overprotective parent for my Smart. I want locks on three lugs because these bolts come off rather easy, doesn't take much torque to loosen them regardless of how tight you tighten them.

I looked up that McGard and all I get is Asian language sites.

Appears Gorilla sells wheel lock sets of 20 for $65, but I'm not sure if these are the ones for the Smart.http://www.brandsport.com/grla-73633t.html

Gorilla has "The System" in sets of 16, 20, 24, etc.

So for the "System", you put a wheel lock on each lug nut and you just have ONE key for them all.

These are nice looking and it has a spinning sleeve which from what I can tell, Gorilla has three different designs and this one seems to be the best? Not sure, but appears so.

But then there are literally a dozen different configurations here so this is where I get confused.

Then even more...last page. Is it just me, or does anybody else feel like they are in an exotic adult store? lol

They're a mere $16.99 for a set of four, but what I find weird is I don't see the bolt. I'm confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's another one that is 12MM x 1.50 thread (yet you still don't see the bolt). $22.41 for four.
