We can't use wheel locks. No one makes one that will fit a OEM wheel.



Those will not work. If you install them it will only be a matter of time before all 4 wheels snap off and you're driving down the road on rotors, or worse it kills you!

See the difference? You need a massive washer to make flat contact with the wheel surface. We cant use acorn style lugs if that's what you bought. The pic below is a snapped lug from this site using a wheel lock from nissan.
makes zero sense to melt down a wheel. aluminum is less than a dollar a pound, not 8
