My neighbor owns a big O tire store and he says they regularly break off people's wheel locks when they can't find the key. It takes his guys 2 seconds to do it with a simple hand held tool they whack with a hammer.I always thought the people who make a "career" from taking wheels have tools to bypass the wheel locks. Maybe it prevents amateurs?
so what you are saying is they are completely useless? hahaMy neighbor owns a big O tire store and he says they regularly break off people's wheel locks when they can't find the key. It takes his guys 2 seconds to do it with a simple hand held tool they whack with a hammer.
My brother-in-law said the same thing. Takes no time at all and most people have no idea where the key is or the last shop forgot to put it back in the car.My neighbor owns a big O tire store and he says they regularly break off people's wheel locks when they can't find the key.

They should fit, it's all the same screw (whatever you call it) pattern. I still have mine from our 2017 Impreza that I need to put on. It fits, same SKU # if you look it up.I know that they aren't that expensive, but I was curious if the wheel locks off my current forester (2012) would fit on my new ascent. Pretty sure they have used the same lugs for some time now, but wanted to get your thoughts.
LOL, well.. do you want this to happen to you? you wake up one morning and bam.. good bye wheels! (See photo) This happend to my cousins truck a couple years ago, had to file an insurance claim.My question is do people feel wheel locks are really important?
