Inexplicably my XKR with upgraded wheels does not have wheel locks. I park in a garage every night but occasionally we leave one of our cars at the marina overnight and right now I would not leave my Jag in a non-secure place overnight until I get wheel locks.

Is there a recommended brand or does it matter if it's a Jaguar part or not? I'm tempted to just go to the local tire shop and have them installed in the morning.

Thanks,
Sandy

 

Quick update - the guy from the tire shop said that he probably wouldn't bother getting wheel locks since the Jaguar wheels have a unique bolt pattern and although they're expensive, they can't really be used on any other cars.

For what they cost, I'll probably still have my dealer install them but I was a little surprised by this guy's response - that is unless he followed me home and will try to steal my wheels now!!

Sweet! A conversation with myself!

So, I dropped by the dealership yesterday and I bought wheel locks. They were $38 and they installed them in about 10 minutes. For the peace of mind, it's totally worth it.

Sandy thx for the info. My wife has locks on her VDP and I was looking to do the same. I'll check Dan at Nalley Jag for a set.

 

Well now that you have already bought them...Take a look at Gorilla locks...

Top quality beefy locks for $$$$$ wheels. Sorry didn't see this thread sooner.

 

Oh - shoot. Well, no worries. I'll probably just use these for now. Thanks for the information though! I might still pick up a set sometime soon!

 

I'm contemplating changing out my rims and IF I do, these will be the locks I go with.

 

Just talked with Gorilla rep about wheel locks for my 2011 XJ (OEM) wheels/lug/lug nuts:"they do not make wheel locks for OEM wheels".
