Has anyone found a good set of locking lug nuts for use with OEM wheels?

Thanks...........

 

The only ones I was able to find were the OEM Jaguar ones. I ordered mine from www.jagbits.com

I think I paid about $125 for the set of 4 with two keys.

 

I talked with Jagbits and they described the locking lug nuts as their site didn't have a graphic. The attached is what I believe they were describing. Is that what yours looked like?

Thanks

 

Those are close. The locking design and the key are the same but the shank is a smaller diameter for the XK and they have washers which go over them.

 

Thanks for the update.

I am investigating a set our local dealer has and will start another thread with pictures if they are promising.

 

If they are the type that the $15 Locking Lug Nut Removal Socket available at most auto parts stores will remove, then I wouldn't exactly call these good. You can bet that all wheel thieves have these removal sockets.

 

Agreed.

I would hope the locks sold by Jaguar would be better than the run-of-the-mill stuff.

We shall see.

 

I can tell you for sure security wise, the ones I got (the genuine Jaguar ones) are no better than the run of the mill wheel locks you'd get through any auto parts supplier.

While the fit and finish is nice on them there's nothing that would stop a somebody who knows what they are doing from hammering a socket over them to remove the wheel. When I put the BBS Detroits on the car I figured these would be better than nothing.

I've used these on past cars and they are the best I've seen but I couldn't find a set I know would fit the XK.

If anyone finds another option with a better design please let us know.

 

The Jag locks for the Detroits looks just like the regular long bolt, except it has a removeable stainless cover that hides a round shaft with two grooves in it and comes with a socket that fits over these two grooves. Should work okay to stop a casual thief. One with tools and skill could probably bypass them. They are better than nothing.

 

The locks I received today are the same as described above. For the few nights a year the car isn't garaged they are reasonable protection against theft, and better than the run-of-the-mill stuff.
