Looking for wheel lock nuts

[Cyrillious]

Looking for wheel lock nuts and it more difficult than it should be. Having a hard time finding 7/16x20 wheel lock nuts for an early squarebody k10 Suburban. Do you guys use them or having the same trouble as I am? I see Mcgard 24011 should fit but very hard to find in stores and Summit is one of the few than can be ordered from. Any thoughts?

Why not order from McGard Directly ? I plan to order mine from them.

Looked up 24011 and it shows you can order on line ..

Usually I order from Summit Racing if it's hard to get items but I would think auto stores should be able to order in for the next day but their supplier warehouses don't have!?

Typically locks are more of a pain than effective. Wheel locks are one of the first things I remove. Park in a safe place, have there been problems with theft in the neighborhood?

If someone is going around stealing rims and tires off a truck, they are almost guaranteed to have the standard tool set. You can buy them almost anywhere and for ones that aren't the standard type, they make universal reverse thread sockets that will buzz them off in no time regardless what the pattern is.

When I got my new tires, I had them replace my lock-nuts with standard Lug Nuts. Just paranoid that I'll lose the key. I'll give them to you if you pay shipping.

Locking lugs are just a frustration for the owner and a minor inconvenience for the thief.

They are, like any other device, something to try and get the thief to go to the next vehicle and leave your alone.
I had to have new lugs for mine when I bought the new wheels and did get a full set (20 lug nuts) of locking style. Thyey were only a few $'s more than regular so I figured - why not?

Since it doesn't get driven and left anywhere (garage kept) I'm not really worried about it.

When I got my stolen 79 Camaro back, it had the 4 standard lug nuts removed on all 4 Crager SS wheels. Only the locking lug nuts remained.
I recon they tried rockin the car side to side to try and break the 1 stud at each wheel to get the wheels off.

They definitely weren't the sharpest knife in the drawer. The lug nut key was still in the glove box.

Laughing at the thought of the dumba$$es having the key almost in their hands.....NOT at your loss!! @WFO
