Default got some mopar two piece wheel locks

picked these up wednesday, they are the two piece wheel locks from mopar.they come in a package of 4 ( part# 82207479 )cost about $40.00 . i chose these because i wanted a lock that looked like a regular lug nut. the keyhex is the same size as the factory lugs, so you don't have to carry a different size socket. when i got my new wheels they sent some gorilla spline lugs and these things are like 21/8" long. they just didn't look right with my new wheelsthey stuck out to far andwere real skinny looking.they were suppose to be anti-theft but they stuck out so far, someone could get a pipe wrench on them to loosen and get them off. anyway . i really like these mopar two piece wheel locks . just thought i would put up a thread to help others out?????

here's a pic with the wheel lock took apart and the key.


here's a pic with it screwed together and the key

looks pretty good. thats a good idea of a locking wheel nut that looks stock. and those gorilla ones look more for imports

Hahaha, Im kidding.

And, Scott, I'm guessing the locking one, is the really shiny one?

I'll remember that, next time I'm in your area. ;-)

thanks jonny, thats what i thought too...

what up frenchy ? ya the shiny one is the new wheel lock , my other lugs are in pretty bad shape. i found some dealership take offs (20) of them on ebay for 20 bucks, think i'm going to do that. and for the other, i am a gun owner !!!!! maybe someone will look at my wheels and think they can just get there lug wrench . and not be ready for a wheel lock. and maybe i will have time to get my gun ? but i know if someone wants them they will get them. that's just how sorry people are now . just get a job ..... sorry about the rant.

i got those gorilla spline lug locks for my wheels. bc they were free so i put them on. they arent that bad when they are on all 5 lugs. but i still want to buy some short ones that are the stock lug size..
