yea i know what you mean, i woulda paid it in your situation probably.. still cheaper than paying someone to get the wheel locks off then buying a new set at the store

Maybe I'll just order a spare key now, and put it in the garage toolbox. Maybe hide them around the vehicle too...

I keep mine in the Jackstowage. The stock lug wrench doesn't work with my wheels so I have a separate 1/2" Drive set that I keep in the VX..

You know stating on a public forum for the world to see where you keep your wheel lock key on a very unique easy to spot vehicle with your location in your profile might not be the smartest thing in the world.....

But if you have 'offset from hell' they will assume your rims won't fit anything else & won't bother with you.

BTW - I don't keep mine in the lug wrench anyway (I need a 12" extention just to get tom my lugnuts) - it was just an idea.

I’m surprised no one has come up with some kind of tether to attach the key to the lug wrench.

My VX has 1 lug on each wheel that has no chrome cap & is corroded. Thought it's obviously a locking lug because there's 1 on each wheel. Couldn't find the key, searched the car completely. Used car dealer absolutely no help..."try looking in the glove box, center console or by the jack"...DOH! Like we didn't think of that! Took it to Big O tires to find out how much to drill it off or whatever they have to do....they said it was NOT a lock, just missing it's chrome cap. What's the probability that precisely 1 on each wheel would loose it's cap? Or that 4 caps would be lost and previous owner put 1/wheel? A 19mm fit but because it was missing it's cap, an 18mm fit perfectly. He DIDN'T loosen it.

1) Big O guy said Isuzu lugs are "notoriously" bad for cross threading and then impossible to get off. Any truth to that?
He didn't sell lugs anyway so he had no real reason to say that to sell us some, so we decided to go get 24 new lug nuts before he proceeded removing those 4 lugs.

2) What brand do you guys recommend?

3) What brand of locking lug do you recommend most McGard...Gorilla?
