Wheel locks


Wheel locks basics

Wheel locks are special locking nuts and bolts that help protect your car's tyres from being stolen. Especially important if you have expensive rims or tyres fitted.

The wheel locks replace the standard nuts or bolts that attach the tyre to the car. They have a unique 'head' on them that can only be tightened or un-tightened with the corresponding unique 'key'.

Check out the wheel locks buyer's guide to see what to look for.
