thats a good reason to get wheel locks. those kids wont have any special tools to remove locks, just regular lugs. btw, honda OEM locks are made by mcguard. they have 16 different keys. theyre not associated with your vin # etc. kyogens are pretty crappy. they dont lock (if you jam a 17mm on, it will take them off). they feel like theyre gonna strip if i apply too much force by hand.
as with all locks, DO NOT use an impact wrench to loosen or tighten. you shouldnt need to use one anyway.
