I had 24's on my tahoe and they got jacked even with wheel locks. What everyone has told me to do is actually get 2 sets of locks. They can still take your rims if you have one set. All they have to do it jack up the car and they can actually spin the rim around until the lock loosens!! Trust me its well worth the extra $40 or so!

My only experience has been with Gorillas and I never had a problem. When I lost key they sent me a new one within a couple of days.

What kind of locks did you have to start with? I would think you cant spin the front tires with the hub sticking out even with just one lock on?

I forget what kind of locks they were. I heard this from the Dallas Police Crime Scene who came out and finger printed my car when my rims got jacked.
